Weekend reading

If you're living in Brisbane, keep in touch with Roman and Jana (West End) at their blog Spurtopia because they're doing free workshops throughout the year. This young couple were featured on Gardening Australia last year. Click on their workshops tab for more information. The next workshop is 2 March at 2pm - Sustainable Living in a Rental Property - fee by donation, bookings essential. 


Weekend reading ...
Fashion - the most hyper-capitalist business
Knitting sheaths, to help the busy knitter
The surprising healing qualities of dirt
Washing up - a philosophical meander
Chemical leaching into food from packaging
Water harvesting is booming in these West Virginnia towns
Competing joys
Traditional farmhouse butter - You Tube - it's a bit gloomy and stern in places but see it through. I found it delightful and particularly liked the family having breakfast of homemade, buttered fruit loaf with their cups of tea. This is a genuine look at a family still living a traditional life back in 1970.

Introducing ...
Grass stained me.  this is made me smile
Homegrown family life
Wolf it down

I hope you enjoy your weekend as much as we'll enjoy ours. Shane and Sarndra are going to a concert and we've been asked to care for Alex on Saturday night. They arrive tonight. It looks like a visit to Steve Irwin's zoo is on the agenda - it's just a few minutes down the road from us. Enjoy what you do and take some time to think about this beautiful life we're all living.
