GET ME OUT OF HERE!!

This is the sunflower in my garden! A spectacularly wacky one with about ten heads of various sizes. There are other smaller single headed ones too, but this was the best.
Time for a break.
After work today, we are heading off on a little holiday of the unwashed variety.
Two nights with the in-laws and then 9 days camping at Cape Conran. Sun, sand, salty hair and I can't wait.
I am so desperate to get away, I packed my clothes last weekend.
Dog finishes her antibiotics today, has her stitches out and is good to go. She desperately needs to meet some other dogs. Encounters at the park have been fraught with savage barking (Robi) and generally not fun & friendly. I am hoping our friends' dogs can endure the getting to know you process without EATING her.
The only things I am sad about missing out on are:
1. NEW BABY COMING-VERY SAD ABOUT THAT
2. TOMATOES GETTING RIPE-MAYBE THERE WILL BE A FEW LEFT

I love sun flowers!! Your sunflowers are extra pretty!!
I had my own little garden full of them when I was younger. What I loved is that I could collect the seeds, once the flowers had dried, plant them and flowers would grow all over again!!
Happy sunflowers

How bizarre you are going to Cape Conran. Someone I was talking to yesterday mentioned they had just been there and I had to ask where it is as I had never before heard of it. Twice in two days - how spooky.
Sunflowers are so pretty - they look so happy and optimistic.
Growing tomatoes is definitely on my to do list for this year. I love the idea of lots of relish, sauce and yummy salads involving basil and goats cheese. Lucky you!
