Hope he is OK. At our age I am seeing more of this type stuff than I would like with people fine and active one day and incapacitated overnight. Sometimes it is temporary and sometimes permanent.

Hope all in group are well and wish all a Merry Christmas.

It seems I have been stalking George for much of our lives, or rather I have been following him around the world from the Yemen to Saudi and then back home, but I then chose Australia as a base, which appears to have the same weather as Texas.

I seemed, searches around for a piece of wood to touch, to have avoided the worst of the medical conditions.

My main problem is that I could garden quite efficiently in England, despite the weather and the clay, but here in Western Australia the sandy soil is at times waterproof and during the winter months, which I would equate with a typical English summer, nothing but weeds. As George Harrison once said we have about 40 seasons to get things right and I have had most of those.

Currently growing are potatoes, garlic, jerusalem artichokes, various herbs, chillies and capsicums. rocket and lettuce ( volunteers from a previous planting) and tomatoes and my last water bill tells me I am using 200 litres of water a day to keep this going.

I forgot the fruit trees, macadamia trees and the olives, but they look after themselves until harvest time.

If you got this far Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year.
