Lovely warm sun yesterday as we sat on the balcony with a friend and read the papers - just beautiful. It was 15C in Burnie on Friday - and poor Townsville, in QUEENSLAND hit a high of 9C!!!! Poor things must have thought they'd been transported to Antarctica!
I have been fighting off the flu I think (after sinus and toothache last weekend, then a tooth out on Tuesday - last thing I need really), had no vim at all yesterday. Managed to make a couple of trays of lasagna and clean the kitchen and loo (after the lasagna!) but that was about it - Mr TAsmania was a champion, got out the MR Sheen and dusted away, then had a go with the Dyson - he loves the Dyson :). He went out to a colleagues 50th last night, I washed my hair and went to bed - social queen!
We've had a lovely day today too ... slept in, went and bought the Sydney papers, then he drove me out to the Oldina Native Plant Nursery to look at things for ideas for the block. We've been thinking pittosporum for hedging plants but now we have a lovey catalogue and have seen all sorts of gorgeous natives so we may well be changing our minds. Tall grevilleas interplanted with westringia and silver birch sounds good, possibly a few large rhododendrons and camellia's thrown in for good measure - very exciting. We're actually thinking we may go and dig a few holes next weekend and start the process of planting ... our dirt is very very good and things grow extremely well, so although we won't have a hedge in five minutes, we'll have one in fairly short order.
Yay!
