Went out to photograph the harvest moon rising over Mount’s bay but the view west was more interesting.

Time for the 2026 master chilli harvest and preserving thread: roughly 2.5kg to deal with from the last 10 days, with perhaps 50% still maturing on the plants.

Lots of chillies on a table (this alt text is likely to be used a few times in this thread)

Seems to be mustelid day here, with a polecat and a stoat running around within a few metres of the house in the last 24 hours... possibly a reaction to the boom in the baby rabbit population which might be about to be reversed.

Don’t want to sound all end-of-days alarmist but a pigeon just landed on the roof rack as we drove round Penzance Sainsbury’s roundabout and rode all the way to the station, only flying off when we parked and that’s really not normal is it?

Trying a new technique to contain feral chillies (L-R: jalapeño ghost; Joe’s long cayenne; early green jalapeño) which seems to be dealing with the challenge of one dense bushy plant and one very tall one OK so far.

Three chilli plants in a greenhouse raised bed packed into a network of horizontal strings running between two tall posts

Lunch on a small island near Göteborg where draft Proper Job is available and the chip wrappers look like this. Expecting to find a pasty shop next.

A basket of chips, in Sweden, lined with newsprint-style greaseproof paper with a story about a near miss between a drone and a FlyBe flight approaching Cornwall Airport Newquay. In Sweden.

First ripe apple of the season - Irish Peach which apparently ripens late July to early August. So it's looking like another early apple harvest year. (Tasted excellent, flesh starting to turn pink-red and very sweet).

A classic looking apple with yellowy-green skin around the stalk and a rich red colour below.

One week in and happy to call it: robot lawnmowers are life changing (not just for the rabbits). TreLawny has done 4.6sq km so far and seems to be handle almost everything… would be a massive timesaver if watching it work wasn’t so compelling.

A nice distraction from local elections. Significant US investment for Pirates means that next season is now looking a lot more interesting - still not clear if anything will ever cause the RFU/Prem closed shop to expand a bit but this might be a model for more teams to be involved at top level.

A fantastic team try to finish the half as Robson breaks on the halfway line, Relton does well down the right and then play switches right across the field for Yates to score his second in the corner. No conversion but bonus point secured. Half time: Cornish Pirates 24-7 Chinnor

Marginal improvement to Cornwall - London air connectivity after the PSO fiasco but only for ~10 weeks this summer: Easyjet route NQY-LGW operating Tuesday late afternoon and Saturday morning. Combined with Ryanair's 4x weekly to Stansted, only Thursdays are now without a London flight.

Why Cornwall can't have a normal connecting flight service from Newquay to London, part 94. Beyond the suspiciously large rage-bait numbers it looks like nobody wants to bid within the parameters of the tender - not clear whether this is "final" or just a negotiating step. (TW: Cornwall Live link)

If the service continues it is likely to cost taxpayers between £14 million and £16 million over the next four years

Sharing in case anyone in the rugby community can help the Pirates - the two storms have had a big impact on the club and insurance only goes so far with the costs of relocating home games to another venue.
