Hello everyone.
Just taking a few minutes to pop in and see whos here.
Hubby is resting after our trip to Geelong hospital for pre op tests.
It was a good trip down but tiring for both of us. Hopefully the next trip for the op will be the last.
No rain here but we had light rain all the way down to Geelong& back.
Its been cloudy but still a bit warm during the day.

The garden is looking very shabby and dry but the brugs are looking great.
My bromeliads are pupping madly so lots to pot up in Spring.
Plenty of autumn bulbs are coming out now and I see the blackbirds have been digging lots of bulbs up as they look for grubs etc.
I have been poking them back in but as fast as I do , they are out again. Once we get rain and the weeds start growing the birds wont bother so much.

How are things down in lilium land , Anthony ?
Lots of lovely shoots coming up here from my Christmas lilies.
You will be surrounded in beautiful blooms once again as soon as spring comes .

Al , nice to see you popping in. I hope your tomatoes do well.
I tossed a few old ones into the garden a while back. They never seem to grow well here. Too dry I think.
Hello to everyone else looking in. I will try and get in now and then but once hubbys op gets closer, it will be busy , busy for quite awhile. He is going to need lots of extra care later.

Hope everyone up north is safe from the cyclone.

Take care.
Enjoy a nibble with a cuppa....yummy Orange Cake..
Jean.
