New Zealand Prof Shane Cronin has just returned from snorkelling over the Tonga underwater volcano that blew its top in January

He wanted to get a closer look at Hunga-Tonga Hunga-Ha'apai (HTHH), and to gather some rock samples.

The seamount produced one of the fiercest volcanic explosions in more than a century on 15 January.

It sent a plume of ash and vapour halfway to space and generated a tsunami that swept across the Pacific.

The event touched literally every corner of the globe as atmospheric waves spread out in all directions to complete a full circumnavigation.

Activity at the volcano has now abated, which allowed the University of Auckland scientist to get in close on a small boat with Tongan locals Dee and Bronco Sugar.

Volcanoes have to be extinct for about 50 million years before I'll go near them.

About yer bolts... have a look on ebay. Now yer in frogland there should be a seller there flogging em. Eye got my stainless bolts for me doors from ebay as not many chops sellem. Buy within the country yer located to avoid customs and delivery costs.

As you say, we always buy in the country to avoid all the customs etc sh!t. And they are a bit quicker.
As I may have mentioned ManoMano are good, they supplied a swimming pool pump the next day.:eek::eek::eek:
But funnily, when I opened LZ a moment ago, before I logged on, an advert popped up, which of course doesn't normally happen now i have signed up to be a fancy member! And it was for bolts etc of all types, "up to 8mm", so I opened it and bookmarked it to go to later. Of course being over here on the French phone system all search engines etc are in French for France and I have a heck of a job searching for stuff in the UK, unless I know their specific address.
Thanks for thinking of me and I'll keep you posted how I get on.:):):)
Hope you are still OK from your fall!!:):):)

Neighbours've just turned up. Their place being a building site all they ever do is work there, I can hear him scraping a shovel across a concrete surface. Yessdi he was using a disc cutter a lot and I may have heard a concrete mixer rumbling.
Doubt they'll kick off!!
Anyway the weedwhacker/mulcher will be being used at the far side of the land!;)
 
Me first seed popped its head above soil on day 3, yesdi. Looking again today the brown seed case has come oft. Two little green disc's on a stem. An anuvva one has appeared anorl. Just about to rise above soil level. Thas not bad for 4 days wuk. Fink there's about 20 seeds in me mushroom tub. Semi clear plastic so eye can see if the roots hit the bottom meaning they need to move to biggerer pots.
