Hi All

No problem for this kid. I shall be at a small piece of land owned by
friend of the family at a beach 40 miles up the coast. Lots of Jim
Campbell's sauce (Thanks again Jim) and a big bag of Red Sav Powder. 18
foot boat, 60 yards of set net and six Crayfish(lobster) pots.
Heaps of driftwood and no computers.

Got a good tip for those in the Southern latitudes. If you want to store
water. Put it in plastic containers in the freezer. Then if the power
goes off you not only have cold water, but the ice will keep the freezer
cold for days.
 Of course I realise that some of youse fellas only have to leave the
water in buckets on the door step to make ice at this time of the year.
( sunny 23'C today)

The Red Savs and Habs planted in pots this season have overtaken the
overwintered
Hab which is very spindly looking and has a number of fruit set.

Merry Christmas to Everyone (said Tiny Tim)
