Happy Easter to all readers. It's Good Friday as I write this though like so many others the true meaning of Easter is not at the forefront of my thinking.

It's been a month of more family birthdays, even in Hungary,  with cakes and presents and maybe more pics later. We also went to Burrum Heads to see the virtually completed house  ready for keys to be handed over when Mick can get in.

Nick has seen the opening of the firm's new hotel in Townsville  so hopefully that may relieve some of his pressures. Parker continues to enjoy school, Hamilton enjoys life and Alfred continues to develop. Jess and family at Elanora seem to be getting on ok as is the family in Hungary. Marg and Merv continue to be going ok as well though more aches and pains  seem to be developing..

Read an article recently which gave  facts and figures on energy production and showed how solar panels and wind turbines can never generate sufficient power to replace the current system. Also mining needs to be increased about 1000% to allow for the production of the materials needed to  make turbine blades and solar panels. Can see a lot of blackouts in our future unless existing power stations are maintained

See the Government is talking about the Recognition and Consultation of the indigenous population but I'm concerned that Application  and Implications are not mentioned. Hopefilly they'll be considered.

Until next time

Cheers, 

Merv
