1.5kg of ripe cherry toms and 750g of unripe. Making a green tomato chutney and thinking about what to do with the ripe ones. Have already dehydrated a couple kg of them over the last month so thinking I might make a sauce.
Big tub of red ripe cherry tomatoes, next to a tub the same size but roughly half as full of green unripe cherry tomatoes

Been in the garden picking damsons, a few windfall apples (will do a proper pick next week when I can do something with them) and cherry tomatoes. Loads more tomatoes to ripen, so they will either do that or become green tomato chutney
Damsons in a bucket with a few apples2 large tubs of cherry tomatoes approx 3l of them

Played a couple of game tonight - a print and play game I printed yesterday (Sprawlopolis) and a legacy game (Legends of Yu) lots of fun!
Overlapping cards, each card is in quarters with 4 different colours, they represent a city with roads and 4 different zones.
The cards are arranged to make the roads connect and the coloured zones make groups where possibleGame laid out in starting position.

Got a pile of sloes off a buddy so got a couple of litres of sloe gin started for Xmas! The sloes were frozen, so the sugar hasn't fully dissolved yet, will probably take a day or two with occasional shaking I'd think.
3 litre green rectangular gin bottles with visible sugar, sloes and liquid in them.
