I have made friends and now I can plan further travels with enthusiasm. Enjoy the orchid show and take heaps of pictures. I'll be in touch soon.

That's exciting news about going 'kiwi' with kiwi farming! Physical labour outdoors will indeed do you good. I'm a big fan of immersion in nature for work, play and healing as you know. Confidence is elusive for most of us at first I think and pessimism is certainly easy to come by if we give in to it. I admit that I've been marinating in that too much myself recently...the eternal search for meaningful work that will fit my life continues but the first hints of Spring bring hope for the future. The annual orchid show at the Conservatory is this weekend (March 26-28) and I thought of you and Isabel. I will be in attendance as usual, soaking up the beauty and intrigue of my favourite flowers. I hope all goes well for you on the job and in your future travels! *hug* KL Hi David–

Photos really slow the process. I like just being able to type stuff like this, I'm going to do it more often. Haha it’s coming. Photos really slow the process.

I think you made an excellent choice, primarily because you seem to feel really good about it. Plus, I love your new, laid back approach to this blog. Your relaxed mood is highly contagious, so thanks for spreading the vibe. :) I love it, D! I think you made an excellent choice, primarily because you seem to feel really good about it.

Outdoors~ how great. All that wildlife, including the people ~:-) You sound like your in the flow again after some high seas. I picked beans for a while in the Tablelands, and zucchini. The kookaburras were my alarm clock at 6am (I have not owned an actual watch or clock for over 15 years), pedaled the country roads mooing to cows and dodging quails; would breakfast at a creek and sometimes be blessed to see platypai playing. Hard yakka but so good feeling of centredness. Then home to swim in the freezing river waters next to the caravan park that I stayed at. I bought a tipi with my monies ~:-) Fantastic!
