Here I am are having lunch with Yamini and Barb in the tea room at the Queen Victoria building very nice it was too, after that I had a nasty dose of flu I had my flu injection too, so off the air for a while but feeling much better now, and the beer fairy ended up in hospital for a few weeks and 6 weeks on antibodics infusions with the nurse coming every day, still not 100% but getting there.
Our winter has been so cold nothing is growing much.
My tyre on the wheelbarrow is flat so I guess this wheelbarrow is not going anywhere soon.
My bogie was so interthined with moth vine I cut it all back didn't know if it was going to survive but it is coming back fast, it was starved of flowers the last year or two however maybe better this spring.
Well at least the stripped wandering dew is growing well not much kills it.
Down the side is all growing
mainly herbs and a few flowers
But all is going well
It all growing in pots and pallets on a cement driveway that is very thick in places and has a few cracks.
My fake flowers are doing ok at least they are a bit of colour in winter
I have a few fake birds to go with them
As our real bird does allow any other birds in his yard, while I was taking photos he landed on my head maybe he was telling me to go too but he allows the beer fairy to pick him up I'm not allowed.
I awoke this morning to the smell of bushfires, thinking the house was on fire I had a good look around and couldn't find any thing am...
I am sorry that you and the Beer Fairy have been so unwell, and hope you both recover completely and quickly.
ReplyDeleteThere is rather more growing in your garden than in mine at the moment.
It has been a cold winter, I'm clearing away a lot of growth and finding stuff growing underneath hope I'm not doing it to soon .

Hello Merle. I was so happy to see your post and know you are well. And to see Barb, too, was a double treat. I often wondered what happened to her blog (and to her) and if her very elderly mother was still hanging in there. (Is she?) Your plants look lovely. Sorry you and the beer fairy were down and out for awhile but I'm glad all is well now. Susan
ReplyDeleteNo Barbara's mum passed away a few months back.

ReplyDeleteOh there we are!!! Seems an age ago now already, doesn't it? Sadly, I too went down the with 'lurgy' when I landed back in the Bonny Land and it took all of four weeks and a few more days to come good. This past week, have been more like myself again and I wish the same for you and BF. YAM xx
Bad year for illness this year over here everyone has something looking forward to spring not so sure about summer expecting it to be a hot one.

Gee, the flu! pleased you are on the mend, your husband sounds still poorly - let's hope very soon he's back to himself.
ReplyDeleteWe are both getting better slowly.

Sorry to hear you both had the flu, glad the Beer Fairy is getting better. Looks like a lovely lunch with friends. I have the same rose pattern dinner set, or should I say I have what's left of it after the kids used it for a few years. Your garden still looks very green.
ReplyDeleteI remember that pattern to maybe from my aunty's place.
DeleteMerle......
Sorry to read you've been unwell, hope you both feel 100% soon.
ReplyDeleteI think your garden is looking good and a few colourful fake flowers does give it extra colour.
Take Care.
All the best Jan
A bit of fake always helps

The flu has hit hard this year it's good to hear you are both recovering now. Lunch at the Queen Victoria Building would have been divine.I love the garden photos and you're so right animals do have their favourite humans, we have a black calf who loves only my husband.
ReplyDeleteHe is a male cats who only likes human males maybe a unfortunate love affair made him this .
DeleteWhat a lovely photo of you 3 and all your beautiful flowers and plants.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to read about the creeping crud invading your home.
That sounds like some nasty stuff.
