hello (again) from portugal!

We love hearing from you, so here is your chance. Introduce yourself and tell us what makes you selfsufficient 'ish'. Go on don't be shy, we welcome one and all. You can also tell us how you heard about us if you like.

Welcome back! Sounds like you've made a good New Year's Resolution there!
We all have two gifts we should try to use as much as possible - imagination and humour.
Imagination compensates us for what we are not.
A sense of humour consoles us for what we are.
And wisdom tells us not to worry about it!

thanks for the welcomes :)
not sure it was such a great idea though, i've been on the forum ALL DAY reading all the wonderful posts. i've not even got dressed yet!
my excuse is i woke up with a horrible sore throat and headache, so sitting in front of the stove with tea and the self-sufficientish forum is good medicine. possibly being out in the garden in the sunshine would be better tho ...
