A Tale of Two Courgettes...

   Last Thursday we played boules with some friends. Sixteen of us were split up into teams of two. I'm still a bit hazy on the rules but basically you play another team and the first one to reach a score of 11, wins.

  A great deal of measuring goes on, and standing around in the shade...

   The winners walked away with bottles of bubbly. Our team was awarded consolation prizes of truly enormous courgettes. Mine--as you can see--is bigger than Peter's forearm. It's colossal, and so heavy that my little electronic scale gives out whimpers of despair when I try to guess the weight.
