Japan is reporting a flu epidemic much earlier than is usual. This early season could have implications for other countries via international travel so do get your flu vaccines (if you can) soon! 🧪 #HealthPolicy

Morning Caz,
That’s really not great.

If there’s any left, I could go a cup.

Wishing you a calm day.

Sweet pea news:
Collected some seeds from this year’s plants as they were dying off and sowed them 2-Oct. They started to appear at the end of last week and today there signs of germination in 17 seeds! Careful over wintering and should be off to good start next year.

Seven tubes with compost and sweet pea seeds in a large plastic pot.
Hadn’t tried autumn sowing of sweet peas for many years as success rate has been poor. Fresher seeds for sure, not too sure how true they will be. Interesting.

Lunch today:
Three egg cheese omelette.
Way better than last night’s effort, where the ham didn’t work at all.
Keep it simple.
🥰

Grated cheese, a grater and three eggs still in shells on a piece of paper towel on a wooden board.
