I can’t believe this is winter!

It’s winter in Adelaide and today we have a lovely 20 degrees C. I managed to get out and do some gardening, until I ran out of energy (it seems I can only manage about 30 minutes before something says, ‘screw this, lets have lunch!’)

One of the reasons I did some gardening (aside from the knee high weeds) is that the camellias are flowering and I pulled the curtain back from the window behind my computer to have that colour come into the lounge. I realised that if I stand to one side I can see the tall, tall weeds as well.

It looks so beautiful with a carpet of deep pink/red flowers that have fallen surrounding the trunk.

No wonder I’m not getting any work done!
