I’ve just picked some Coscia pears, I had to hurry and leave lots on the trees as they were being invaded by those terrible giant wasps, that we call calabroni. I think they’re called European giant wasps or hornets, in English? I wouldn’t want one of their stings!

Really lovely looking pears. Are you able to harvest ripe, soft pears? Mine go from rock hard to rotten and plagued by hornets (frelon in French) without that perfect stage.

Thanks @Lincolnshire, some of the pears are already ripe and need to be eaten quickly, within a few days or they’ll go bad. They are genuine, untreated fruits so once they ripen they don’t last long but in the fridge, quite a bit longer. The not so ripe ones will ripen indoors, I’ll probably bake a cake to use up some before they rot! 
I have another pear tree, different type of pear, they ripen in Autumn,and I have the same problem as you. They’re rock hard and if I leave them to ripen, they just rot. Or they end up rotting on the tree, still hard. I think it’s the usual reason, that they haven’t been chemically treated like the ones we buy.
The spaces shown were deep in ivy. I’ve finished clearing it. There’s more to go but that will be for another time. I don’t mind a bit of ivy but it had grown too much. I’ve vowed to keep it down when it starts growing again…
The pile…
All I have to do now is get rid of the cuttings.

Believe it or not, but nothing. Feeling lazy today.
One thing I did do for the garden. I thought about getting a new set of furniture. I’m into rattan at the moment, something like this set.
Do any of you have rattan? Is it easy to maintain?
Id like Rattan , but its a bit out my price range , the only experience ive had is when at holiday lets ,it seemed a bit on the light side cause from day to day it seemed to move around with the wind blowing it …
Also I would think its a bit of a bother to keep bringing the cushions in when rain is forecast , unless its under a canopy …
This morning we got our tomato starts moved outside. The green & red peppers are not quite ready yet. I’m very excited for DH to get the chop & flips done so we can plant more.

I haven’t done a thing. My cat, on the other hand…
Notta Lotta.
Any where else. +50. 
Sit in it.
I painted a fence panel , I ran out of steam , there was a time I would do the whole garden Boundary
Some new solar lights. That’s all.
A mad half hour of strimming. For once my fickle petrol strimmer decided to start. I think the two hours sat in the sun helped.
But that half hour of bits of weeds flying everywhere was after a day re-painting the hall. Yesterday it was the kitchen. Both walls and wood work. I am completely bolloxed. Night.
