Day 13.184: Exile #2's Sunday Column #304

It’s been too darn hot today! We stayed in for much of the time because venturing outside resulted in us instantly becoming a sweaty mess. I did go out long enough to tend to our zucchini (courgette) monsters, duct taping off some squash bug eggs. They’re very pretty, like bright drops of copper but I gather they are less pleasing after that.


The zucchini look like they are sizing up to feed us some more this week, so feel free to pass along your favorite recipes!

Exile #3’s dance teacher popped round in the afternoon, to pick up the DVDs that Exile #1 has made of the dance show. We declined the gift she had brought, which sounds rude I know but it was, you’ve guessed it, more zucchini!

Those of us who are sufficiently old rounded out the day by filling out our postal ballots for this week’s local elections. It was actually kind of nice to be able to talk it through together rather that scribbling secretively in a booth, and it was good practice for November, which is the one we are really waiting for, of course.
