Any bacon butties left? I like them any time - whatever the weather.

I expect there will be a lot of lemon flavoured ice water floating around here in the next few months. Just had the spring equinox, and the seriously warm weather is now kicking in. Our main Sydney water supply, the Warragamba Dam, is covered with blue-green algae due to the warm weather, but we've been assured it is safe. I think I might stick to beer, wine and gin and tonic - with a slice of lemon of course. In fact I think I'll have one right now. Anyone else? There are plenty of lemons!

We've been doing major cleaning up in our yard, but there's lots more to do yet. I think we must have been bitten by the spring cleaning bug!

Sandra, where were those pictures taken? The red passionflower is very pretty, but you don't get passionfruit. I prefer my plain ones that lead to fruit. They are a bit slow getting going this year. The plant is recovering from the snail attack - there is a lot of fresh new growth - but no flowers yet.
