It's a tin hamster - they're more chewy.

Tomatoes are finally starting to get cheaper here. Well they're still $7.90 a kg at my local supermarket, but that's still an improvement from a week or two ago.

Coming towards the end of the tomato season here, some signs of blight here and there. Blight always kills off tomato plants in the UK towards autumn.

Apparently they'll starting circulating new coins here with King Charles III on them from next year. As expected, current coins and notes with Elizabeth II on them will still be legal tender until they reach the end of their lifespans too.

No decision yet on whether King Charles will also replace Queen Elizabeth on the $5 note here as well, or if someone else will replace her instead.

Grapes haven't been cheap for months here.

I wonder if they ever will be, this year.

Unlikely, I gather grapes haven't done well in France this year either due to the drought.

Mmmm, I might be able to have some too if I maintain a good diet between now and Christmas.

Aldi do a tasty luxury Christmas pudding. A zillion calories but really good.

That sounds genuinely amazing. :heart:

Pavlovas are more popular down here at Christmas, but it might be worth trying something different this year.

It’s a long shot, but the packages might be here before Christmas.
