@d.symonds and I did some work in the garden this week.🤞🏻we can keep those weeds at bay. The lime tree is not at its best, but I'm hopeful it'll pick up after the weeding, and I'll feed it soon. It has some flower buds so we may still get some limes.The dwarf bottlebrush is growing! Very slowly, but it's definitely taller, with fresh leaves, and a very interesting process of shedding some leaves to reveal the gumnuts that will flower.#garden #onionweedistheworst

It never gets old seeing this tree come to life every spring. First photo is the start of August when the very first shoots were coming out; the second is this week when the tree is not yet full, but lots of green has sprouted. 💚

The news of the death of the Queen has me thinking

The news of the death of the Queen has me thinking about my grandmother. They shared more than a passing physical resemblance and I imagine that their sense of humour and dedication to their families were similar; they both had a strong faith in Jesus Christ and both went to be with their Lord in 2022.These are some photos of my Gran (nicknamed Queenie) and Queen Elizabeth II at similar stages of life, and some of my favourite tributes that I've seen so far.

I have been really tired for essentially the whole

I have been really tired for essentially the whole month of August. I wake up tired, I need at least one, if not two naps most days, and I feel frustrated because there's so many things I want to do that I don't have the energy for.
I am looking into it with the GP to see if there is something physical to fix, but I also need to take satisfaction in what I can do.
Today I not only kept Mark alive, but he had a great time at Gymbaroo, plus two decent naps (him and me), I ticked 6 items off my task list, and I planted some Kangaroo Paw in the garden. 🙌🏻☑️🪴#marksymonds

Baby had his first haircut today! He cried a bit, but did pretty well.I miss the curls 😭 but they will grow back, and he was starting to remind me of Einstein with his bushy hair.#marksymonds
