life with a cold

I've been half at work and half at home with the flu this week.  It did give me a chance to look at the weedy garden and see what's happening;

 The two self sewn female pawpaws in the back garden are now starting to get lots of flowers and, just by chance, the other tree that grew up under the clothes line is a male so things are happening and baby pawpaws are expected to arrive in spring!

 The lemon tree is covered with fruit and the mandarin is also doing it's best - even though both of them are having to cope with grasshoppers and other nasties.

Lesson learnt - don't buy nail polish when you are not feeling well.....

 or this is what you might get!!!!!

 I also fell into my favourite shoe shop (to see if she had any tissues for my runny nose) and came out with two pairs of shoes.

They don't photograph well, but they are both pretty nice!
I hope I am better next week so I don't have to stay home and go to the shops.
