Hi everyone,
My little 12 year-old sister and I have some more freshly-picked, pesticide-free habaneros off our bush that we would like to sell to earn some pocket money.

The $1 coin is for size reference, these habaneros are much bigger than chillies I have seen at the local supermarket retailing for $1:30 each (picture included indicating size relative to a $1 coin) and are really hot so you only need to cut up a small portion into food. Habaneros store well in the freezer so any leftover can be frozen until needed for up to a few months.

$1 each or 6 for $5.

I also have some that I have frozen that we would still like to sell at a rate of 2 for $1.50.

Covid-19 safety precautions:
It is recommended that you rinse produce thoroughly with hot water.

The Earl of Derby by George Saintsbury was borrowed from the Newtown Library in March 1902. Having been found in Sydney, it has finally been returned 118 years later.

Library staff have seen reason, and the penny a day fine - it has been more than 43,000 days since the book was loaned since - has been waived.

Anyone else out there guilty of having library books stashed away in their shelves?
