Howdy !
Couple quick things, promise it won't take long.
Nothing more annoying than an unwanted sales pitch jamming up your inbox(plus I'm super lazy..) so don't expect another one of these for ages.
The right amount of rain, warm stable temperatures, bumper crops, all that jazz.
The way we do things have left us ok this year. It is very dry, and we have had quite a few losses, but nothing drastic or unexpected.
Plenty of crops are surviving to harvest, and a few new species are being added to fairdinkumseeds.com in limited numbers as well.
The difference in our Australian sales has been massive though, and from that alone I can see the drought is really hurting a lot of folks.
Not really a lot of help, but our thoughts are with you guys...
Hang in there, it has to rain eventually!
Online sales are awesome, and it's great to be able to keep the rent paid, plus hear from all you friendly happy folks that I would never have the opportunity to meet in the real world.
Really kind of amazing to make random folks I have never met happy, all over the world.
Blows my mind, even after all these years.
Tech is super cool, but there are a few negatives and I find that all the little dramas associated with running a 24/7 online business build up after a while.
Clouds my mind and I become a bit of a “cranky no fun prick!”(or at least that's what the Mrs says...)
It's easy to just say “Take a day off”, but I worry about an unanswered unhappy customer feeling ignored, or a social media drama, or a website glitch, or a million other little things, that do happen, all the bloody time...
So, I just quickly check.
Again and again and again and I end up spending hours and hours inside in front of the computer stressed, instead of out in the garden getting my hands dirty, or out exploring the bush looking for cool new species.
For this reason me and the Mrs made it a rule to just turn it all off every now and then.
Completely disconnect the satellite dish and spend a bit of time without any of that high tech stuff.
I highly recommend you folks do it too, it's fanbloodytastic!
The store will be open, and we are happy to take your orders.
You can sent messages and emails still too.
BUT, no orders will be shipped, and no messages or comments will be replied to, until we turn it all back on.
Friday 2nd of November all the orders will get packed and shipped, all the emails will be answered in order of appearance.
Life goes on as per normal.
Might even have a few new additions if all goes to plan...
So, if you need to contact me or are in a hurry, just make sure you order before 12th October.
If you miss the 12th October deadline don't expect the order to be shipped or to get a response from us anywhere online until we get back on the 2nd November.
We are not ignoring you, we just won't even see it until then.
Hope you guys understand.
All the best, and fingers crossed for some rain!
