And I thought Australia had scary inhabitants of the animal/insect/reptile/fish type.
Just look at the expression.
I think I’d rather face a crocodile than him! Looks like something out of a Hollywood B movie.

When you realise almost all the fruit & veg in the fridge is from your garden 
(Everything except the large carrots)

That’s what I want. I have to get better first though. I can’t dig a proper hole in the ground yet.
There’s a lot of weeds to take out and soil to be turned over. I will see how it goes.
There is always next year.

Shit, I just threw out a shitload of cardboard boxes. I could’ve used those.

You’ll get there mate 
if you don’t have the energy to build a garden bed you can just plant straight into a bag of soil - tip, if you stand the bag upright you can plant a tomato plant per bag!

I’ve got plenty of soil in the garden where I can grow things. No need of bags or beds. One bit of it was just very much overgrown with weeds.
I took a lot away a few months ago. Raked some the other day. It’s winter, it comes loose pretty easy.
In spring everything gets lively again and roots are more firmly settled.
It’s the heavy work, like digging I can’t do. I had a friend plant the life trees for me.
They were too big and heavy for me to handle.
I’ve planted some holly myself. They are still quite small and didn’t need very big holes.
I covered one piece of garden with the box I still had from the keyboard. I’ve got some dogfood in the shed with boxes still around them.
I will get those off and use them too.
Some cat litter will be delivered tomorrow, meaning more boxes 
I do have a pallet in my front garden @natbone, but I was going to make a proper gate out of that for the backyard.
I use a piece of sheep fence atm. It does the job of keeping the dog in.
Keeping people out is not a priority. There’s hardly anyone there. Only a few neighbours that have a key to the back gate.
I was 44.4 kilo yesterday! That’s 1.5 kilo up since December. That’s spectacular for me.
It’s almost 3 years since I collapsed and I’m sick and tired of being weak. I’m used to just get on with it.
Quite difficult when I can barely stand up straight.

Congratulations to @Steampugs and @Nevans. My only experience with commercial juices was with their collaboration with @zippy at diy flavorchaser and her world class team of mixers. These will be fantastic.

What happens when you take 50% internationally renowned E-Liquid mixologist, 50% award winning vape reviewer and then throw in 50% of an og E-Liquid manufacturing giant, add a splash of unadulterated fussiness and a pinch of narcissistic nuance?… Well, you get really bad maths but more importantly, you get the recipe for one hell of a juice line. Meet the Flooid Vapour Co.

That’s a tough road you’re on. Keep moving, it’s the best thing anyone can do for themselves.

I’m very good at that. It’s knowing when not to move and take some rest I’m not good at.
We have a few days of rain ahead of us. That means soaked cardboard boxes with no effort involved.
The dog will refuse to put a foot outside the door too, so I will get some rest.
I’m waiting for some oil paints to be delivered, so I can get on with painting my turtle.
Hopefully I don’t fuck it up.

Cheers for the plug SD mate, never really knew what the response would be from the mixing forums lol, there’s a side of me that feels a bit dirty given my background in mixing but…you know, when opportunity knocks…
Truth is, the flavours in our liquids are created from compound, so it’s not ‘mixing’ per se, they can’t be replicated (without being gassed) and the team that’s involved from the guys at Wick Liquor to the flavour house are all at the top of their game, it’s taken us 15 months of the hardest work me and Nevans have ever done to get them to market, but the results are incredible
So, Session Drummer has suggested I come out of retirement to do a ‘Steampugs’ style write up on them, a presentation kind of thing, and I might just do that…so blame him if I do…
