Hi all,

alt.pc had been so quiet that I had actually unsubscribed, but this
afternoon I thought to check it out on google and lo and behold, there
are so many of the old names back and chatting!

I am still busy, I still have no life (still working full-time and
attempting to get the Ph.D. finished outside work hours - by the end
of the year with any luck). My little 1/8th acre plot has been ignored
for the better part of two years and it looks it :-(

And we now have a motorway in construction in what used to be the bush
block behind my place, although I can't complain about that too much
as they are being the model of community consultation and
consideration. Every time our community has raised a concern it has
been listened to and acted on, which is great. They're building a 10 m
levee behind our back fences and that will be xenoscaped in due
course.

I'm hoping to get a bit more native landscaping done once summer has
passed.

Good to see that so many of you are doing well and fighting the good
fight. Now we jsut need to rouse Mark and Heather out of their hidign
places!
