I'm sending you lots of blessings for a speedy recovery - you can pass them on to him! <BR/><BR/>That pup of yours is darn cute. And that's a big thing coming from me - I was bitten by one no bigger than my hand when I was 15.My floathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17002186548335132157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-1163209837964753012006-11-11T12:50:00.000+11:002006-11-11T12:50:00.000+11:00Hi Isobelle, The lilly pilly do well here in Austr...Hi Isobelle, The lilly pilly do well here in Australia, & seem to be ok in NZ also. They are very similar to the old Crab Apple trees I remember from childhood in NZ. Our tree doesnt have very big berries, but some do, & people make Lilly Pilly jelly & jam from them.<BR/><BR/>The SIL has had surgery on his hand, & has a wire inserted to support a bone. Not a nice thought, they tell him it will have come out again one day!meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-1163204577436672542006-11-11T11:22:00.000+11:002006-11-11T11:22:00.000+11:00I've just Googled lilly pilly trees.

It only needs a subtropical climate to survive."<BR/><BR/>You have no idea how funny that sounds to a person in Edinburgh. Surprisingly hardy to us is something that lives through frost and snow! <BR/><BR/>It's all relative, I suppose. Still, bang goes my fantasy of having one in the garden...Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/12641269043817163165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-1163204246024267382006-11-11T11:17:00.000+11:002006-11-11T11:17:00.000+11:00Hope your SIL makes a good recovery.

Also your bank balance.<BR/><BR/>Lilly pilly tree - this is the second blog mention of this tree (I don't think the first mention was your blog, but it might have been).

Your one still looks good though!<BR/><BR/>Your Leo is a little cutey, I love his fur, can almost feel how soft it is.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry to hear about your SIL, hopefully all will be well and she will still get to enjoy her birthday. Give her a bottle of Scotch for a present, it satisfies 2 problems then, 1. what to get her and 2. it dulls the pain of the hand.Aunty Evilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18433383999833031264noreply@blogger.com
