Welcome Mossy. If you think THAT was a ramble you ain't seen nothin' yet! (not being competetive...

)
I've been considering my plan for a while, nothing set in stone. The feisty Avalon forum inmates are helping me clarify things somewhat.
Currently, I ain't goin' nowhere if/when the **** hits the fan, whatever form(s) that takes. I had a very powerful dream many years ago that changed the course of my life and it involved choosing to stay rather than take up my allotted place on a rescue ship. That's why chose toI become a nurse. I later reaslised the dream meant MUCH more and I think my role in the unfolding changes may well relate more closely to that dream.
Following prompts from a number of sources I've cleaned up my garden areas and started planting veggies. Will be getting some water efficient planter boxes similar to, but a lot cheaper than, Earthboxes. Planning on getting some solar panels for battery charging etc. Not sure about off-mains water yet, maybe a tank. I'm going to subscribe to George Ure's newsletter at
www.peoplenomics.com for practical ideas. His free site
www.urbansurvival.com is highly recommended.
Would like to meet some of the other Perth/WA 'ground crew' people. It's just a matter of organising a time and place that's convenient for everyone. Any suggestions? Turtlecat is busy with the kids during school hols so some time soon after could work.
That's enough for one message methinks!
I look forward to the creative sparks that can fly and ignite long-forgotten passions for a life fully connected to the God/Goddess/All-That-Is, within and without.
