Thanks for the lovely comments while I was away

Coming very soon to an inept balcony garden blog near you:

1. An update on the balcony garden (it's thriving despite my neglect)
2. Possible harvest of apples
3. Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomates (they haven't died yet!)
4. New plants (natives, flowers, pumpkins of ridiculousness, chocolate mint and more)
5. More spider battles (the good, the bad and the very ugly)
6. Snailaggedon part 2 - the re-deadening

and a Phd! Well fingers are crossed on the last one, it's been 8 weeks and counting since I put it in for examination. Should hear back in a month. Let's just hope I passed, so I can be Dr Unemployed, instead of simply unemployed.

Now to find the camera cord (yes I'm still looking for it!) and we will be back in business.
