Today I have made 4 and a half jars of apple chutney. I still have a lot of apples and some vinegar, onions and sultanas left so I may make some more yet. My attempt to Eat All the Apples has failed : even eating 4 or 5 apples a day the lawn is covered in them.

This weekend, my mother finally made it home after her broken hip. She's still walking on crutches and the leg is painful - not because of the hip, but because of the original problem that probably caused her to fall over in the first place. She has had pretty good care, I think, which is cheering. Note: if you want to break your hip, August is a good time to do it, because the busy time for hip-breaking is the winter. We still have her dogs, as she is not up to walking them yet. I don't know if they will both go back to her or not, but I'm leaving that decision to her. It's a bit of a pain having four dogs, but worse things happen at sea and all that.
