Most gardens in Melbourne seem to have a lemon tree. Here’s mine.
I must confess, I don’t water it as often as I should, and when I need lemons, I rarely remember to go look to see if it has one for me.
Do you have a lemon (or other fruit-bearing) tree in your garden? Post a link to it in the comments/trackbacks.
Here are my keys. Well, all of them except those numerous unknown keys sitting in jars, their uses long forgotten.

Here we go, back to celebrating the mundane… Here is the inside of my fridge door:
And the milk? For some reason, I keep it in the main part of the fridge. Just habit, I suspect.

I got given a new wallet on Monday, so a couple of days ago I transferred the contents of my old, decrepit one into it. On the way across, I took this picture.

And now for a toast. (Tony and Rae are certainly deserving of one, this weekend.)
This is my Sunbeam toaster, still going strong after over a decade of toastie goodness. Happily handles crumpets and those big slices of bread from the delicious Vienna loaves I sometimes get at the bakery down the road. Yum.

Two days late, but I thought I could knock off two birds with one stone. Tony posted an artefact from the defunct Daimaru, and issued a challenge: find something from a now-gone department store.
Well, here is my kitchen clock.
It came from a shop that was somewhere inside the beautiful art deco Capitol building on Swanston Street. The shop was not huge, but proclaimed itself to be “Palmers Department Store.” They definitely had delusions of grandeur.
I got the clock about 12 years ago, and it’s certainly lasted longer than the store. Every couple of years it needs a new AA battery, but apart from adjusting for summer and winter time, it gives no trouble.
