Here is me slaving away in the tropical sun, building a dunny for the centre for indigenous knowledge and research in Dong Le, central Vietnam.

November 2004: A couple of months ago I decided I needed a holiday. I’ve had the travel bug with its teeth firmly sunk into my flesh for many years and it finally got the better of me. I remembered something from my child hood, a fascination with something called the Towers of Hanoi. I couldn’t actually remember ever seeing pictures of these towers, just a vague recollection. So Hanoi it was! I booked a ticket and started asking everyone about Vietnam and what was happening there.

This very cute dry composting toilet (a single chamber minimus) is exclusively for the lucky people who grace the crystal clear swimming hole at the north end of the Tuntable community.

This young girl needs to go!! What is the collective noun for a bunch of Minimus dry composting toilets? Free plans to the one who come up with the best one. This pic was taken at the 35th anniversary of the Tuntable Falls community near Nimbin, NSW.

Yet another annus passes in the history of Pooh and we're still smiling:) The new year has brought all the usual frustrations and motivations of an endless list of projects and work to complete, so I've hit the ground with a steaming hot mound and cancelled the planned trip to the desert. It's hot enough here any way. The garlic is out and the pumpkins are leaping out too, more evidence of the virtue of my urine fertigation system. I've harvested and sold my first crop of fingerlimes, tasty and tangy with essence of Stu and others somewhere deep in the flavour matrix.
