Hi all and glad to see the quits stuck and so happy to see all the successes achieved.

Yup….. Not to smoke is a new way of living, it takes quite a while to get rid of all the old habits and adapt to the new ..ohh so nice….lifestyle…..!

Surely different people experience pressure and stress different but I really want to say jumping back to smoking when life throw you a curveball is really not necessary…..!!! We humans can cope with a lot of things and do not need a substance like nicotine to make life bearable.

Our Roisin is a fine example……..!

As you can see we are still having a very difficult time and the drought has gone from bad to worse…But never for one moment this past year and a half I thought to smoke again… Yes, the craves was there but the advantages of not to smoke weighed much heavier.

The pic was our Christmas day with a howling wind and 45ᵒ C temp. To put a cherry on top the National electricity line was out and no air conditioners was working… My poor wife…!!!

Dusty and Dry……..!

Our irrigation is almost totally stopped by the government due to the main water source has gone down to only 16% water and is supplying water to two cities….!

Our Venture up North is going to plan and the Bulldozers started clearing the land…. We will be planting Avocado and Macadamia but I will eventually stay in the South with the Bananas.

Will definitely bash a few waves from the 31st to the 3rd in the new year.

For all: Enjoy the smoke free life and once again we pray for a very nice and prosperous 2017!!

PS thank you for the Birthday wishes....!!!!

Thanks Hercu, and best wishes to you and your family in the New Year. Good luck with all of the crops.

Avocado & Macadamia sounds like my vegan niece's Christmas feast.
