No more cherries

The last few days the weather has definately changed. The temerature is now around 30° during the day and at night it has fallen to 15°. Positively cold, we have even had to shut the window at night and put a throw on the bed!
With the colder weather has also come strong winds and electrical storms. Isn't it amazing what spetacular shows nature can put on? Unfortunately one of the cherry trees won't agree with you as it has been snapped like a matchstick by the strong winds. It is a great shame because it produced some absolutely scrumptious, juicy cherries that were just wonderful to eat straight from the tree. Alas, it is no more. Just a forlorn stump remains, what a shame. Perhaps next spring we will plant a couple of new cherry trees so that in three years or so we will have cherries again.
The house continues to develop and the good news is that i can get up off my knees for a while as the lounge/dining area tiling is now completely finished. That is 49sq. metres all done...yeehah off to open a bottle of homemade wine to celebrate. I now only have another 38sq. metres to finish in the kitchen and entrance hall and the downstairs tiling is complete.. only another 38sq. metres oh my aching knees.....
