Fight, snack and watermelon.

-
1. Rose and Robert arguing over who has been mentioned in Three Beautiful Things the most. They have decided that the first one to be all three things for a day is the winner.

2. A bowl of salted nuts.

3. The different greens on a watermelon rind.

    I think peanuts are the only nuts that suit being salted. Almonds, brazils and hazelnuts are so much nicer plain, in my opinion.
    I've got a beautiful thing for today: I've been away for 10 days on holiday without internet access. Reading up on your 3bt's has been one of the nice things about coming home again, as well as getting to sleep in my own bed, lady grey cups of tea, and catching up with everything and everyone.

    Do a search for "Rose" and "Robert" and find out...

    The Girl -- glad you are enjoying the blog. Hope 3BT eased the transition from holiday to workaday! I have a real taste for roasted salted hazelnuts and almonds and cashews and macadamias and pecans. But brazil nuts I can take or leave, and I prefer my peanuts plain with their skins on. Isn't it funny how different people are!

    Timmy -- Trouble is that searching for Rosey/Rose brings up lots of references to rose petals and rose quartz; and searching for Robert/Rob brings up Robert Silverberg and Robert E. Howard and other Roberts. I suppose I could go through it all carefully and count. I think Rosey wins -- she got a bit of a headstart because we spent so much time together in Africa. I'm secretly hoping the challenge will result in them competing to be nice to me.

    Without doing any research I suggest olives.

Bee, green beans and movie night.

1. An enormous fat bumble bee at work. She is so bulky that she can knock dead blossoms out of the way as she gets right in to the new jasmine flowers. 2. Green beans squeaking in my teeth. 3. We watch The Goonies . It's fun to see it through adult eyes; and it's fun to see my daughter suddenly understanding gags and references that she's seen in other media.

Midsummer, feeding and cakes.

1. The shortest night and the longest day. I was up at Wellington Rocks with Anna, Paul and Jason. We couldn't see the sun through the mizzling clouds, but we had got up at 4am and were there observing the moment it came up, and that's what counts. 2. Food at The Junction Inn , Groombridge. All four lunchclub members were impressed by the quality -- although the portions were rather small. I had smoked eel with beetroot cream (Oli says that sounds like witch food, but it was delicious, and didn't taste of beetroot at all); Ed and Doug had wild mushroom risotto; and Johnny P got his face round a huge homemade burger. It had chips with it that were very good too -- I know this because I stole some. 3. Taking The Mother's homemade cakes to work. There were three -- one chocolate, one coffee and walnut and one lemon with homemade jam in the middle. There was a lot of stickiness in the office for most of the afternoon.

As needed, forgotten cake and syrup.

1. I promised myself I wouldn't moan and grumble about it -- but I do. And as if by magic, a very kind friend produces the required blazer (and also the next size up). 2. I'd forgotten that I'd added a tiramisu cake to the shopping order. 3. The elderberry syrup is now so thick that it coats the spoon.
