Yeah, I'd love a motorbike again, but I couldn't put them through that. I
might get away with a litle scooter though... heheh...

I believe I would both think it neat and be scared of it - they're not
mutually exclusive in my book!

LOL! Yeah, I've seen those a few times but only small - not ~100 foot high!

I'm sure you'd love it, depending where abouts here you visit.

It goes well! It's bigger than I thought in actual dimensions (I thought 10
x 18, but it's actually 12 x 22 feet), and it looks even bigger than that!

We've just got to finish off now, drop the sides to tension the sheeting,
put membrane under the outside skirt, dig the plots over etc. We have a
central path laid and all else is done now!

I have some pictures I here I took last night just to show you - if I get
chance to DL and crop them for E-mail, I will send them to you ',;~}~

> Chili petin blooming yet? Mine is.

Nope! It's looking a bit tired actually - it's amazing it survived last
winter, saince it was so cold here for so long - it wiped the other plants
out. It'll come back though, soon enough!

Yup - going great, shit-loads of new space - tomatoes going in there soon,
then chiles and gawds knows what else we'll think of ',;~}~

Oh! Been meaning to say - that last cactus cutting, the vertical one - it's
not taken yet - no roots, no shoots, but it's remaining green and firm, so
there's a chance yet.

The other news is the PT babies - I have about 3 *new* ones that have just
sprouted over this past couple weeks or so, after all this time! Cool or
what huh? ',;~}~

Heheheh, I ain't sayin' ',;~}~

I just know Simon was walking home early hours one day - next day he
cheekily asked Kath when she'd decided to take up religion - she positively
melted on the spot with embarassment LOL! Me, well, I was just... proud...
typical male reaction, heheheh...

Yup! I been eating more at work since I started here though, heheheheh...

Yeah, some great folks, good humour, excellent tips and info, and uhhmm,
Sheldon, LOL! You know me Kat - I just can't help being mischievous, can I?
