From the Editor March 2020

Oh hey it’s me again.
Twice in one month, you lucky things!
 
Don’t worry, I won’t make a habit of it. You just get one dose a month from here on out, in the last week of each month. That’s until I go on holidays / AWOL again and stuff the whole schedule.
You’re a resilient bunch though, you'll manage.
 
I’m typing with toes and ankles crossed that we maintain power for long enough to get this column finished, and a few hundred Banksia Bulletins printed. Sure, typing with my fingers crossed would be more lucky, but it just would not be efficient, or accurate.
 
Kudos to everyone for soldiering on through the waves of power outages, even you smug generator-owners! I hope you’re embracing the opportunity for a digital detox, reconnecting with friends and family over a good old fashioned game of cards, reading a book by torchlight and no-cook picnic dinners! Most importantly, I hope you’re supporting each other through what admittedly is, a pretty annoying period of time. Remember, life is 10% what happens and 90% how you react to it.
 
Another bright side for you: y’all are entitled to claim $80 each time the power is out for over 12 hours. Yahoo!! Pop into the CRC and we’ll happily help you make the claim online—we’re literally pros at it right now.
 
Big thank you to all of our advertisers and content submitters who have contributed to this edition! Thanks to you there’s heaps of content for our wonderful readers to sink their teeth into this month. We’re of course never satisfied though, so keep bringing it on for next month—and all year. Please and thank you. Ideas for new segments / columns / spreads / exposes(!) are always welcome too!
 
Hope you and your gardens are enjoying this little drink of rain!
