First Tomato Harvest

Last night, the 18-year-old son of one of our neighbours apparently decided to host a party, as his parents were not at home.

Around 1 A.M., a group of about 8 young people assembled in front of the house, disappeared in it and reappeared on the balcony just opposite our bedroom window. They talked, drank, giggled and smoked there for hours. I closed the window, but still could not sleep until they were gone - just before 4 A.M.

Today I feel very tired and grumpy. Despite a headache that goes all the way to my shoulders, I needed to work all day, to meet my next deadline tomorrow.

But there are also positives today: Cute cats; delicious tomatoes from the garden; and P is making pizza for dinner.
