I have Moebius Syndrome
What the hell is is Moebius syndrome? You are probably thinking.
It is an extremely rare congenital neurological disorder which is characterized by facial paralysis and the inability to move the eyes from side to side. Most people with Moebius syndrome are born with complete facial paralysis, which means they cannot close their eyes or form facial expressions. (I am lucky as you can see it only effected me on one side).
Limb and chest wall abnormalities sometimes occur with the syndrome. Most people with Moebius syndrome have normal intelligence, (I do have normal intelligence but when I consider some of the things I've done over the past 50 years I sometimes wonder) and others should take care not to confuse their lack of facial expression with dullness or unfriendliness.
It is estimated that there are, on average, 2 to 20 cases of Moebius syndrome per million births.
How is that for odds, pity I don't have that kind of luck with lotteries.
Bye for now

Flying like bird
Who would have thought that at the age of 50 I'd be learning to fly.
I have only recently discovered the rapidly growing sport of recreational aviation.
Here in Australia you can now learn to fly ultralight aircraft at a reasonable price, and without the strict medical requirements of general aviation.

Economical Watering System for Trees
Hydrosyph is a low cost watering system for plants.
It is used to establish the root system of trees, shrubs and other plants during the vital first 6 to 8 weeks following planting and then to provide water to the plant while it is becoming established.
Hydrosyph works by creating an underground micro-environment allowing the root system to develop and allowing the plants to mature - even during drought conditions. Using Hydrosyph allows you to plant at any time of the year - not just during the season when there is rainfall.
This is not just another watering system. Hydrosyph will deliver the right amount of water or water/fertilizer solution to each plant's root system. There is no water sitting on the surface to evaporate. Water is delivered directly to the root system. An added bonus - it is very low cost and maintenance free.
The life span of Hydrosyph is 2 to 3 years more than enough time to allow the plant to become established and self-sufficient.
Because Hydrosyph only delivers the required amount of water to the plant, it will continue to provide an ongoing supply for periods of up to 8 weeks.
The product is simple to install around the plant and easy to fill with water.
