Monday lemons and big feet

Today when I went to put on my winter boots I found I couldn't  :-(  My feet have swollen and I am resolved to wear my (stinky) summer sandals for a while longer until the problem is solved (i.e. I buy new shoes - have my eye on a pair that cost only (!!) $115, Clarks of course).  So I had to wear a pair I bought for my last pregnancy that are totally unsuitable, boots about and inch high. I am not a heel wearer and a trip to the park this morning has caused them to be added to the Goodwill pile.

Anyhow, I did some post-weekend tidying.  I have been avoiding bending over, as it hurts my back, so as a result a lot of stuff has accumulated on the floor.  So I had a big tidy today, and whilst in the mood picked a few lemons to put in the new (to us) freezer.  Apparently lemon season is around December, and in the summer, when you want to make lemonade and gin and tonics there are no lemons.  So apparently the answer is to freeze them.  As we are in the process of filling the freeze, in preparation for the new baby I decided to add a few lemons.  This time last year (our first year here) there weren't many lemons, but this year the tree is laden.
