It's Draaaaaaaggggggging on!

M emailed yesterday to tell us he's just returned from Indonesia to discover A would be "unable to fulfil his drafting obligation" ... but we already knew that... A is in Europe!!! .... Sooooo meanwhile we're still stalled and waiting...

Benji let him know our concerns in diplomatic, gentle Benji manner:
"What ever works for you, our contract is with you so you can make the call on it.
Still want to have a yarn about insulation options as well when we both have some free time. I have forwarded an email from the techo's from aircell and their ideas, I am still not quite sure how the rafters etc... work in the main living area. " Because the insulation info M has given us previously doesn't stack up!!!! 
Annnnnnyhow... we'll just wait and see what happens next... it's a beautiful design and I can't wait for it to exist in reality...
On a brighter note:  I've started looking into what we'll do with the garden... Benji was actually a bit shocked when I told him I think I'll start getting some cuttings of native plants to create our garden...  Him: "Oh I had sort of only thought about the produce side of things for the garden"  Me:  "Benji! What about landscaping!!"   Which is cool... the artistic part of the garden can be my little project while the productive part can be Benji's - which suits us both very well :)  
.... So anyway I am thinking all natives (apart from Benji's produce plants)  Of course there may be a few exceptions - but I'd like to try to keep it all native... maybe we can keep any non-natives in pots???   S and I will have to take a pair of secateurs on our walks from now on!  There are some nice Lillypillies, Grevilleas and Bottle Brushes in our area I might just help myself to:)  My plan is to start potting the cuttings now so that we have a little stockpile of ready-to-plant natives by the time we get out there.  This website might come in handy for us.  And this one too!
I really like this little plant:  Billardiera scandens (Native Appleberry) ...It actually fulfils both Benji's and my gardening requirements:  it's pretty, it's a native and it produces edible fruit!!!  I would love to get my hands on one.
