Mudcrabs will be live, is I have the intention of selling as soon as I pick them up from the airport, even if it is midnight, I will sell from my address, (which I have licence for from Auckland Council) And I am looking for any feedback, negative or positive, I will take it on the chin no problems..I will get the first batch hopefully by christmas. I have some positive feedbacks from restaurants from Auckland and wellington and would like to hear from anyone in public as my intention is to sell at the local Manurewa and Otara markets and possibly Hamilton and Takapuna markets to cater for the asian and other communities who are more keen on prawns and mud crabs. I look forward to the feedback. Thanks guys..

(If I could have the opportunity to talk to her on the phone.) Miss you so much. I love you Mum. I long for the day I will see you again. I write with falling tears & a heart that aches to see your face. To speak with you again will be memorable as you will be awoken from sleep when this world is returned to it's original state as promised by Jesus words: You will be with me in Paradise. Of course the original paradise was on Earth 🌎. So what a wonderful time that will be. And to see true justice prevail & seeing the fulfilment of John 5:28, 29 & Revelation 21:4. True promises, not mere failed & empty words. But, promises that will most certainly come true. Isaiah 55:10, 11.
