Monday.

Well I'm finally back. Life takes over completely on occasions and sitting at the computer for anything other than work just doesn't happen sometimes.

 It's awfully quiet in the garden at the moment. There's onions, beetroot and capsicums to get each day, and of course herbs and a few straggling strawberries. The fig tree is having its second and best flush of fruit. We just bought a lovely lilly pilly and I'm assured it will give us masses of fruit. After buying it I thought maybe we should have gotten 2 to be very sure so I'll pick another one up. The colours are lovely - and so is the fruit! I remember my friends neighbour had a huge lilly pilly in their side garden close to the fence. My friend and I use to eat handfuls of the berries every summer.

This crazy big toadstool is in the dog yard. I'll have to pull it out shortly but I quite like how big and silly looking it's become in a few short days so I might just leave it to see what happens and if it gets even bigger. Shame it's not edible - I'm a big fan of fungi.
