The Bush administration has been finally laid to rest, and the world is breathing a collective, probably Greenhouse Gas enhancing, sigh of relief. As the teary eyes dry, Obama recruits his leiutenants and diplomats and we ponder the future. “Hmmm. Should I buy myself a Pico for christmas – it would be so useful – or should I just invest the several hundred dollars in potatos and pickling jars for the rootcellar I’m planning to build, instead?”

We have begun utilising the old Auckland City Council recycling bins. At the moment we have lettuces and chilli plants all ready to go. I also built, with my own two hands, borrowed tools, and wood I stole from under the house, a small herb garden. This has been planted, as perhaps one would expect, with herbs. The road to self sufficiency has begun. I’m not sure a root celler containing some mouldy apples and an equally mouldy old hippy is something we would consider in the future.
