How the Coronavirus is helping to improve the environment
The real longer-term crisis is climate change.Ironically our response to a different crisis - the coronavirus pandemic - indicates that it is possible for us to change our ways, but only when there are governmental efforts to support behavioural change, which we have seen with coronavirus and need to see, now, with climate change. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/how-the-coronavirus-crisis-is-helping-improve-the-environment-across-the-world

An Italian's guide to leftovers
Go back to basics during a Coronavirus lockdown....1. Move away from ‘I need everything now’ and instead use that bag of lentils you’ve had in your pantry for a while2. If there are any leftovers like small pieces of zucchini, eggplant, celery etc, these can be finely chopped or shredded and added to a pasta sauce, meatballs, risotto or a soup3. When preparing food, always have a bowl near your chopping board. Put all fruit and vegetable scraps into the bowl. When you finish one delicious dish, go into the leftover bowl and see what else can be created. Even onion peel can be oven dried and turned into onion powder.4. Cook in bulk and freeze – like a true Italian!https://blog.csiro.au/diversity-innovation-italian-leftovers/

CANCEL 2020
After careful consideration we have decided that is is no longer in the best interests of everyone involved to proceed with 2020.While we recognise that a lot of hard work has gone into preparing for 2020 it has turned into a disastrous year and we feel it is best just to call it off.We understand that some of you were looking forward to seeing what disaster 2020 would throw up next. But on balance we believe it's probably best not to find out.We will instead provide ticket-holders with a full refund or an exchange and start afresh with 2021on Monday.Our plan is to deliver a more enjoyable year, similar to say 2016 which many thought was the absolute worst year of all time but in retrospect was a walk in the park.See you next year.Management
