I had a good one, fish & chips on the wharf while admiring OPB's then a few glasses of wine watching the tide come in out the front of my place, eating oysters I'd just gathered off the rocks. The first of my 2 moorings went in the bay yesterday, too. Peter Wiley |

I really only intended to have one mooring but the space is there, the installing contractor is a neighbour of mine and the Govt officer is happy, so why not? Mast for the toy sailboat is ready to go back in after a bit of TIG welding and new halyard sheaves. BTW, we're blizzarding again. The groundhog isd never going to find his way out of his hole next week....it'sfrozen over. Ah well, if you live in the frozen north, you gotta expect it to be like that. Move somewhere warmer! Meanwhile I look at the rabbits feeding on my grass and think about rabbit casserole in red wine. Winter will arrive in a few months but this year I'll have my small workshop complete and equipped, so there'll be plenty to keep me happy. PDW |

Sydney rock oysters in huge numbers on the foreshore....pity they'd probably put you in hospital though. Yeah, that's the problem. I remember getting buckets of big mussels off the rocks at Berrys Bay when I was a kid back in the early 60's. Even though they were cooked, I cringe at the thought of eating them these days. Heavy metals..... Upper reaches of Sydney Harbour have come a long way but I still wouldn't eat anything out of it, especially not filter-feeders like oysters & mussels and doubly so raw. PDW |

You need more Oriental tourists -they grab any sea food they can get their hand on here. Even eat oysters of the "do not take shellfish signs" Cheers |

Had to restrict the taking of stuff off rock platforms as they were getting turned into deserts. Problem with people eating contaminated seafood is that they front up at the public hospitals and expect to be treated for food poisoning, hepatitus etc etc. You don't have to worry about that as I understand NZ hospitals don't bother treating people any more - can't afford it. All jokes about NZ aside, you're fortunate you don't (yet) have too many people. Why I left Sydney & now live in Tasmania; it's sort of a race in Sydney between money going into cleaning up old and heavily polluted areas and population growth making things worse though at a slower rate, while public infrastructure lags behind in roads, railways etc. 2 hours flying from here any time I want to do some serious shopping and now there's a car ferry between Sydney and Tasmania so I can start hauling heavy stuff south as my building gets finished. I'm never going back there to live. PDW |
