The delicate smell of pine met me when I returned home this afternoon. I opened the door to my flat and was met by a flood of light, the likes of which I have never expereinced in the 11 years I've lived here.
Yes, the Norfolk pines have gone. Two stumps remain which are destined to be ground out. Two lillipillies have been planted in their place. Don't know how high they grow but the roots won't interfere with the sewage system by all accounts.
I bet the magpie I noticed 'casing the joint' last week for a possible nesting site will have a shock. I shall miss the bird life but I do like the light.
My plants won't know what's hit them. I might have to buy different ones, the ones I always shunned in the nursery because they needed full sunlight.
My pink couch will fade even faster unless I remember to keep the curtains closed until the earth rotates out of range of the sun. BUT I might save a little on electricity. By now (mid afternoon) I've usually got at least one light on. Don't need it now.
