I stopped at the shops on the way home and after getting some groceries, went into the liquor store and searched for a good bottle of wine. I found one, took it to the counter and the guy did a double take when he scanned the price. $42.50 for the wine. I told him I'd had a shit day at work and needed something to make me feel better. He nodded in empathy.
I spent an hour outside in the garden to get some fresh air. I staked all my tomato plants and checked some of the other plants for caterpillar damage. The new product I've been trying seems to be working. It's a natural bacteria that comes in powder form that you rehydrate in water and then spray onto the plants affected. The caterpillar eat the leaves that are sprayed with the bacteria and then they stop eating and die after a few days. It's non-toxic and I think is better in the long run.
Once showered, I headed into the kitchen. I needed comfort food and I needed it fast.
Lots of deepfried shallots, fresh chilli and coriander. The latest episode of Atlantis had finished downloading so that really cheered me up. After dinner, I made myself a little platter.
