Putting 14 unwanted books outside the gate with a "Take me, I'm Free" sign and there were only 6 left to bring in this evening.
They''ll be back out tomorrow with some more books that I've read.

That sounds like a good idea Veggie, might try it myself.

Getting my turf in under cover for the winter and getting the back grass cut.
Coffee keeps me busy until it’s acceptable to drink whiskey.

Spent the evening peeling apples. Some had been pecked or bruised but none of them had any internal damage from pests. It took me to the end of the peeling to realise what was missing - and I'm glad they were.

Nothing worse than half a grub. At least a whole one might wriggle away. Was it a bad year for the codling moth, I wonder?

Charity shops aren't interested in books at the moment. A local church has a free library in the porch - doesn't seem right to leave the crime novels there though.
