greetings from the south coast

Hi all,
Im thinking it must be extremely hard labour to cut a tree down in the build up! you guys are amazing. My new frangapanis are just getting their first leaves, after being bare stumps for the last 18 months.The banana trees are starting to take off, have you planted any Mart? they would do well up there. Ive just delivered another beautiful fresh homegrown lettuce to mum and dad. What is the name of the lettuce mum keeps asking me. I dont know, it looks like a flower in full bloom, any takers? The tomatoes arent doing much yet, or any of the other veges for that matter, but patience is a virtue ( I think I missed out on that one.)
I so want to get started on the outdoor shower this weekend!
As usual everyone seems to be just about on holidays except me. Bumma! Never mind I'll save mine up for when Moo and I do our thing next year. Glad to hear you are getting some shifts now Moo to pay for our adventure.
Annie, are you interested in seeing Wicked in Jan when you come up? Fran says it fab! Let me know so we can try and get some tix, and what about the girls, I,ll shout them if they are keen.

Any takers for Moo and Jules free tix they won(oh shit how suprising!!) for the Illawarra folk festival. I have asked Jack, but have not heard anything back from him (how suprising) maybe I should have asked Fran, so something would be sorted out. If a pair of folks want them, I will work as volunteer, so will be there as well. If only one person is interested, I,ll use the 2nd tix. If no one is bloody interested, I'll sell them and still work as a volunteer. I think its around the 14th and 15th Jan.

Our nearly 80 year old dad had his first lot of acupuncture this week-how cool is that!
My new years resolution is to have a massage every fortnight! Prevention is better than cure, so said the community nurse to the surgeon. OK enough, Im starting to write complete shit.

That's it for now. Hope dad can get a more glamourous photo of me next time for the blog, I look like a garden gnome in the last one. Speaking of gardens, I have started my new pottery project-a totem pole for the garden. I have carved my first portion- a white bird, a beautiful mystical creature from the dreamtime that comes out at night. Amazingly,as I was about to start carving, an owl came into the garden of the studio where I was working. Ive been looking for an owl at night for ages! Its the simple things in life.

Thats really it. Love to you all,
Zak
