Still alive. Exhausted from four solid weeks of olive harvesting (and potentially not finished yet). Say if you want some oil.

Looks like I have a lot to catch up on, but expect a bit more interaction going forward. And apologies to thouse who have contacted me recently and not received replies. I have been not internetting for nigh on two months. Nothing personal at all, and I am in catchup mode now...

Big kiss.

I knew you had a pretty severe income stream disruption a while back. I've been going through that more recently and I suspect several other folks have also. So I just assumed you were taking care of your own situation first. Glad to hear you're still kicking anyway. I'd love some oil but shipping to this side of the world is prohibitively expensive. Don't even consider it. Ta' for now.

It's been a struggle for most of the time since COVID hit (the AirBNB was shut for over a year). But we're still doing the thing.

My sister-in-law is coming to Australia early next year and I am going to bribe her to put two litres marked Macgirvin in her hold luggage and get her to do an intraOz shipment to you.

Hi @elmussol nice to hear these words! It must have been a lot of work to do. Glad that everything went well with the olive harvesting! :-)

@elmussol Do check import rules beforehand, Australia is very strict especially with food.
Olive oil not being fresh seems to be fine though.

Just make sure it's declared. They might not allow it through if they're being picky that day, but as long as it's declared nobody will get into trouble. And just one since there's a risk it will end up on the table of the border officer.

Say if you want some oil.

I said you that earlier. But as a result, you just dropped the subject, you just didn't respond. Why offer something you can't share?

Or could it be a matter of selectivity? Maybe you prefer to deal exclusively with high-ranking Westerners rather than some habitatnts from the colonies who wanted a taste of your natural oil?

If so, i think it's worth clarifying beforehand: that your product is elite, and not for all.

@ivan zlax Nothing personal. The last year has been crisis after crisis for us. You will get some. Worry not.
