Weight of fruit (or cones)

If the quantity of 'fruit' indicates the length or harshness of winter then according to our Lawson's Cypress trees it's going to be stonker.  The branches are bowing under the weight and the sycamores are smothered too.  However, the crab apple doesn't have as much blossom as last year but to balance that the bramley has more than for a long time.  In the mean time we're going to enjoy summer now that it's arrived, glorious warm sunshine these last couple of days - far too nice to be stuck in the office but until we get anti-glare screens on the laptops we're tied to indoors.

One problem with an open plan office - poor AW is being bombarded with small cries of "yes", "oh, no" and "get in" as KH and HB keep tabs on their various sporting fixes, Lions tour (wow 69:17), French Open (well done Tsonga, come on Nadal),  ICC Championship Trophy (cricket where it looks like "the Windies are going to send Pakistan packing") and the qualifying round for the the Canadian Grand Prix.  Well, it kept her distracted long enough to remember that she's left Tony the Tortoise outside and has had to phone home to ask if someone can "chuck him in the greenhouse".
