Artichokes
Are we growing globe artichokes as well as Jerusalem artichokes? This appeared in the back garden:
And here is a picture of a poppy that decided to grow in one of the raised garden beds:
And in the financial news, we have not been paid as it's not payday, and the markets are down. Back to where they were six weeks ago.

Scanner
Well, I've got the USB stick on the scanner back - sort of.
It seems there's a network discovery issue with Windows 10, which I'm a bit surprised about as that's something I'd think businesses would use a fair bit. After poking around for a while it seems that although I can see the printer and can access it, it's not being found automatically by Windows 10. The same goes for the WD MyCloud backup box. I can map drive letters to them, create shortcuts to them, all that stuff. Windows 10 won't automatically discover them though. The only thing it will automatically discover is your laptop - when it's turned on.
To get around this lack of automatic discovery I used Explorer and "Add a network location" to add the USB drive to my list of network locations and mapped drives.
Not a complete fix, but at least I can now access the USB stick on the scanner.
What's even better is that the networkj location persists across a re-boot.

Corel
I decided to have a play with something in Corel Photopaint today and under Windows 10 the menu bar in Corel is white on white. Not very useful! After scrabbling around on the web I found that there's a Corel update (update 4 for X6) that is supposed to fix it. I gave it a try and it did.
I also discovered there's a Corel hotfix for update 4 so I downloaded it, and it doesn't seem to make things worse.

Easterly hurricane
The easterly hurricanes have started for the season - and not always on hot days.
And 2kg of red peppers doesn't make much red pepper paste - about enough for two soups.

All systems - cook!
Red soup - the vegetarian kind!
Red pepper paste!
I spent the morning at the local archery as last week's rain seems to have ended. I made the red soup before going and now that I'm back I'm making the red pepper paste.
