I always get annoyed when people bring their bugs into work.. I guess it is more difficult in the childcare profession, but I know in the office there is a perception that unless people see you fall off your chair with a cold/illness, then your bludging the day

Ali, I hear ya with the internet access.. we go through internode, after having gone through almost all others, are very happy with them.

Blizz..I hear ya.. we could be the MIss Wookies of 2008 (we'd tie for the title).. isn't there a zen proverb "not being able to see the legs for the forest?"

Gargy, The course is ecological agriculture - very few jobs in the field (unless of course you have your own place)...but I loved it, and it is a 'dream' field of mine.. one day maybe I'll have my own place and be able to implement the things I learnt - although I have got a large block, so I do my best. We had a salad for tea (lettuce and herbs and tomatoes from the garden)..

My MIL gave me a ripe strawberry straight off the plant yesterday, and my knees went weak! - I kid you not.. after the crap that they sell in the supermarkets, the homegrown ones are superior on all fronts. I would much rather grown my own food (simply from the taste perspective) than buy anything. Just hoping that I can keep growing my greens in winter, without the use of a glasshouse, but under a couple of trees.. will see if my experiment works!

Hopelessly off track, off topic and off target.. only a month to go until we see the FS and perhaps maybe then something will happen.. waiting... waiting..waiting.. argh!
