I'm very excited for you about the publishing possibilities. I know a professor in WA whose class on sustainable living has been directed to your blog and forums (after I emailed him the links) - I think momentum is gathering, albeit slowly, for greater grass-roots change in the way that we live and a homegrown Australian book will be so welcome.<br /><br />Enjoy celebrating your wonderful husband, and I for one will continue trawling the archives!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06422492795264972573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-24385097813643368002010-09-17T08:20:47.461+10:002010-09-17T08:20:47.461+10:00Hoping that all goes well with preparing your book...Hoping that all goes well with preparing your book for Penguin.

I ...Congratulations, Penguin books is a real catch! I don't buy books anymore, but I make a special allowance for quality reference books, and I just know that your book will be one of those. I can't wait!!!<br /><br />On the home front; I asked my grandmother to teach me to knit and Friday before last I got started. I love it and have been practising almost every day. The stitching looks dreadful, like a thick dreadlock, but I'll get there. I even knitted during our car trip yesterday after reading about it on another blog - so much fun and I didn't get sick at all like I thought I would. Soon I'll be starting my first dish cloth. <br /><br />Thank you for the inspiration! Have fun during your 'time off'.Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226232937287822047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-30560836351804600992010-09-16T06:26:47.208+10:002010-09-16T06:26:47.208+10:00oh Rhonda you will be missed but how exciting - a ...oh Rhonda you will be missed but how exciting - a book!! <br /><br />And happy birthday to Hanno - I turn 31 on Sunday so we share a birthday! :)Georginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05204980895930787227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-70063613528747477882010-09-16T03:24:56.008+10:002010-09-16T03:24:56.008+10:00Good luck with the book & a big Happy Birthday...Good luck with the book & a big Happy Birthday to Hanno!

When I started reading your blog, I discovered a whole new world of possibilities to do what I had wanted for a long time but didn't know how to achieve - making the most of what I have and live a more sensible life. I can't thank you enough the wonderful way you've been helping me!<br />Best wishes for you and your family from the other side of the world (I'm writing from Lisbon, Portugal) :)Paula Lemoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02209483815351012903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-60389139569799951112010-09-15T23:57:01.659+10:002010-09-15T23:57:01.659+10:00Happy Birthday Hanno, hip hip hurrah.Happy Birthday Hanno, hip hip hurrah.Grandmaibbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00751976102325479714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-80845645645967501982010-09-15T23:48:18.133+10:002010-09-15T23:48:18.133+10:00Happy Birthday to Hanno!
