Map my run. So there IS an app for that

I agreed to do the corporate cup this year. To do it properly one really does need to improve one's fitness. So I ran the course today.


A sweet little app, maps the run and gave me 300m splits, with an indicator of my running rate. Handy to make sure the times go down each fortnight which - after all - is what it's all about. I suppose the "serendipity" of getting a little fitter is really what it's all about.

That's those tamarillos

They're colouring up but it's taking a long time.


But they were selling for a dollar each in Coles a little while ago and I've got about three dozen on. And when I tasted somebody else's last year it was nice. So we'll see.

Broad beans ready for some warmth

Planted them just before winter. They'll get tall and leggy into spring, but at least they'll give some early crop.


I've backed them in with some sowings about a month ago that are four inches tall, and I'll get some in now, too.

Grafted a fig

I went to my father in law's place - he has a beautiful 40 year old black fig in his back yard. I took some wood and top worked my one here at home, which has nice, smallish white ones. So if I'm lucky I'll get a second variety on my tree.


And I might get the same result with my nashi with some wood I bought last week at the rare fruit society.


And managed to give myself a little cut with my bud knife. Whatever.
