The Social Corner: Busy These Days?a

Stumbled over some pictures of a residental area in Hong Kong. Tin Shui Wai. Amazed and got on google. Apparently this area is 4.2km2 (1.7sqmi) and has a population of 292.000. That makes a population density of 75,880/sq mi.

Love those kind of fact and to discover shit like this. This planet is fun.

The Strawberry Cheesecake is pretty good, I can tell you a bit about the AP in a couple of weeks, it gets jarred up Thursday.

FunkyButtLovin - Did you do any topping or training on the SC? I’d be very interested to hear what you think about the AP. What kind of yield did you get from it if you don’t mind? TIA!

I have grown the SC a few different ways and my favorite has been the one I just tied down and spread out. It only gave me 29 grams but there was no larf and the plant stayed about 10.5" tall. The AP was just cut down, I'll try to remember to weigh it in a couple of weeks. It didn't produce a lot for me but that's mostly my fault. It did take every issue along the way in stride, this is a tough variety that I think should be considered great for beginners like White Widow or Northern Lights.

An I thought 232 people within a small 4mile area was a crowd

I love busy days. As for me, I worked from home, done some washing, finished my school project even without having to use https://www.topwritersreview.com/reviews/pro-papers . Decided to start the painting prep in the spare bedroom, got as far as taking the curtain tie back hooks off the wall then the blind wouldn't come down easily and I thought 'sod it, I'll deal with it tomorrow...'

Life has been pretty quiet here for the last past several months. You know the Covid thing... Full of restrictions by our government, curfew by night and so forth. So spending most of my time sitting in front of my screen, doing groceries with the wife, the news channel is always on and i"m not sure it's a good thing.

A few time a week I chat with my amigas and amigos from the Yucatan by Facetime to hear some news from them. First time in a long time I'm spending my winter here because of ..... well you know why..!
I seldom see the kids because of this shit. So I'm looking forward it will end soon.

Oh yes, first time this year I stay home during moose season with my boys, too long of a story to explain here. But sure miss my hunting cabin and my lake where I find peace and beauty.

I i thought of sharing a few pics of my northern refuge. Last year mr. Bullwinkle pass in front of my son's hunting camera, he survive the season.

Ya gotta love GWE: a community of soulful folks sharing their stories and knowledge towards a righteous endeavor!

Twelve degrees outside this morning, no bragging rights compared to the Great White North, but cold enough to shut things down around here. Our 2/3 acre hosts a small fruit orchard and a large veggie garden, compost bins, five cords of firewood and a house big enough for the Saintly Spouse and I to stay out of each other's way when necessary. My domain, the basement, is a workshop partitioned into areas for fishing gear, surfboards, and a roomy grow room.

When we moved here from southern CA I thought the frigid winters would be daunting and I was surprised to find that I enjoyed having some "hibernation" every year, time set aside for reading and reflection. A snowy afternoon with a roaring fire, good book, glass of late harvest zinfandel and a bowl of home grown herb is a blessing in these chaotic times.

Paz y Amor brothers and sisters,
