This mornings chilli harvest. Lots of Cayenne red peppers and one ripe MA Warthog. The Cayenne are around 30,000 Scoville heat units - the Warthog 1,500,000 I.e. 50x hotter - wear gloves!
Fantastic yield from first Chinesischer Runzelhaut plant. Despite the look they are a low heat - I’ve a fun mix of chilli’s this year thanks to chillichump. #hydroponics

Great night watching Liverpool band Casino support The Lightning Seeds. Nice to hear one of the tunes he wrote with Terry Hall just before he passed away.

Waiting for the @thehornesection.bsky.social to come into stage in Ipswich. Can’t quite put my finger on it, but all the background music has been *improved*. Classics like “walking in Ipswich”, the Beatles “back in the I P S W I C H” amongst many more.
