Today was a "stay at home day". After doing something every day while Nic and Dave were here I relished the day to do nothing. I did a load of laundry as it was sunny and warm and hung it out on the back patio.
 |
| Patio table in the sun. The laundry was drying at the other end. |
 |
| While out in the courtyard, I noticed that this plant |
 |
| had started to develop some spikes of yellow flowers. |
 |
| After a couple of wet months, and a couple of shots of fertilizer, I guess it was happy with the warmer temperatures (day and night time) |
 |
| The geraniums next door, that I get to enjoy from my side of the wall, are certainly happy. I sat out and read beside them in the afternoon |
 |
| and then went to visit Kay, passing this tree in the laneway. |
 |
| Pale new growth all over |
 |
| and lots of fruit. |
 |
| I think it is a Loquat tree (in Cyprus it is known as a Mespila tree). It flowers in the fall and the fruit is ready to pick in late spring or early summer when it is gold coloured. I will probably not be here. It is supposed to taste like a combination of peach, citrus and mango. Sounds delicious. |
 |
| Nicola sent me this photo of Dave and myself at the entrance to the tunnel to Apphrodite's Rock beach. Their flights home were fine, got a good nights sleep and were greeted by a bright, sunny, spring like day. |
