G'Day Gang!

Shirlz - yep gotta get into the photobucket thing, the blog seems easier to post photos on though.

M3 - This is official (3 month sickie? wow). I arranged it with the MD over 12 months ago. one month is paid the other two unpaid, but I've been saving up.

Andy - I've got a long list of projects including some garden ones, and I want to do more cooking out of the garden, but also electrifyng the bike, a new solar cooker and simplifying our lifestyle are also on the plan.

Jack - No ill health mate, this is me time! I've been working over 30 years and figured I needed a bit of a break!

Using a news reader (Bloglines is the one I use), the "Really Simple Syndication" (RSS) feed makes it possible to see when updates are added to a whole host of sites without having to visit each one individually.

Now I'll see your postings without having to remember to log onto your Livejournal site every day.
