So I have tonsillitis :( Happily this is a secondary infection to the cold I had a few weeks ago, so it's not accompanied by all the cold symptoms. Even more happily, I have codeine and live in a lovely place (I mean Tasmania, not the place you live in when you have codeine hahaha!). So despite my best efforts to do nothing but be crook and sit on the couch...today was just a lovely day. There was cardboard castle building with the kids: The Castle The Obligatory Dragon Issy's picture of her brother as a knight Beaded trim on the ramparts (what else?) with the picture of the knight's horse And a wander in the garden while collecting lemons: Hellebores Grevillea The secret camellia Lemons, mint and poorly placed raspberry canes (I have hopes regardless..!) The boy collecting lemons Pink azalea A coffee at the beach (hot choc for the kids): Me and my dudes The happy doglet The happy kidlets And some knitt
