I'm going to pickle the world

Well - our little corner of it anyway.
Just to keep tabs on myself, so far I have:-

Courgette chutney, numerous jars.
Courgette and Runner Bean chutney, some jars exchanged for onions to make....
More chutney. Probably a spicy runner bean one this time! With maybe courgettes. Or apples.
Marrow, apricot n' ginger jam.

Next come the apples. Look at them hanging like grapes! I must progress the press. It's cider season for sure.

Brown eyes blue.

Radio alarmed itself to on. News. Weather. Van Morrison wailing "Brown eyed girl" and I begin to panic. I can't remember the colour of Kate's eyes! Laying there, beginning to sweat, trying to recall. Every detail still there, except in shades of grey. Memory playing tricks. Colours fading like last moment breaths.

Then.

It's OK. The answer still playing in crackily transistor.
Brown.
