Hello from Australia

Post: # 48084Post Greenfoot »

Hi there. I am really into organic gardening as well as making my life greener and more sustainable. I can see there are loads of topics relating to this which I look forward to getting stuck into. I also have a blog dedicated to creating a greener and more sustainable future -- http://greenfoot.com.au/. Would love any feedback. Cheers

Hello and welcome to the forum. I notice the mention of star ratings on your blog, I had not realised that it was different than the letter rating that we have over here and in the rest of Europe.

Hello, looking at the front page of your blog I was wondering whether you know these things...

From your picture I can tell that you have egyptian and viking ancestry :)

Apparently having a longer second toe than big toe means that you are a decendant of the pharohs and having toes that curl towards your big toe is a viking trait!

Not really SSish useful knowledge but I think it's interesting :lol:

Welcome! I don't read many blogs normally, but yours is very cool, lots of info and links and food for thought!

The european ratings seem very much like the star ratings except instead of 1,2 3 stars etc it's A B down to about F for really poor energy effeciency
