Hot and cold

I harvested my Demon Red seeds today, opening two chilli pods as usual just in case one of them turned out not to be viable. The plants are definitely starting to suffer from the cold, and I have brought them inside pending my getting round to picking the rest of the chillies. I rashly wiped my eyes after handling the inside of the fruit (but *after* washing my hands!) and can vouch for it that they are definitely hot...

The central heating came on for the first time last night, and I really need to get down the rest of my winter clothing -- I have emptied one trunk but still have the big one to do. Fortunately the small trunk was the one with all my thermal underwear in it :-)
