Blood on the floor

igenlodeBroke a glass. Cut my foot, despite having very meticulously swept up all the broken pieces all across the kitchen. Didn't notice until I saw the trail of bloody footprints across the floor, whereupon it suddenly started hurting :-p
(To be fair, after I'd washed off all the random smears caused by treading in my own blood, I eventually discovered that I had a very small cut on the *top* of my foot, so I think it must have been inflicted as a result of flying glass shards, rather than by treading on anything...)
The towel-tomatoes are absolutely groaning with fruit now starting to ripen, and I have been eating some of it. The Roma tomato has only managed to set *one* small pear-shaped fruit out of all the flowers it has produced, whereas it looks as if the towel-tomatoes are setting practically all of them.
Oh well, this is why we grow a whole set of the far more productive towel-tomatoes and only one token Roma tomato :-p
Both the dill that has flowered and the young dill seedlings are drooping and withering despite being kept watered, and I'm not sure I'm going to get any seed from this batch. I'm afraid the temperatures are probably just too high for dill to be able to survive :-(
I am immensely amused by the current Count Bin-face saga.
(There is something utterly and reassuringly English about this particular response to dog-whistle politics: P.G. Wodehouse poking fun at the 'Black Shorts' rather than Rallying to the Flag to Defend Democracy...)

But what might Binface do if he actually wins? Under the standing orders of Westminster, he would have to remove his Bin in order to enter and sit in the House of Commons chamber.
