# 27 ViSiTiNG ANA iN WELLiE

we had a lovely evening together last wednesday, on my way back home after a north island mission. so nice to catch up, we ate good wholesome veges for dinner and chatted about her poetry course and my move to melbourne. just a pity i couldn't stay for more than one night.

#21, 22, 37 GETTiNG RiD OF STUFF

well that's been my focus for the last few weeks, in preparation for leaving town this sunday.

how to i manage to accumulate SO MUCH STUFF?

nik was a lifesaver on the clothing mission. phew.

i still have a way to go, in the next 5 days...

(which obviously is why i'm blogging instead of organising)

edit: and how fitting that this blog post is completely disorganised also, i don't know what is going on with the damn image formatting!

#8 MONKEY BOWLS

well there's no point in having a set with every bowl the same when they're as quirky as this...

so that's it.

set finito.

and now i must pack them away into a box for when i return to nz to live. i plan on taking one with me, my favourite coffee vessel. and i'll give a couple of them away too.

#9 THE GARDEN

well i thought i had a picture on this computer of my lucious summer garden, taken a month or so ago. but it must be on the other machine, the one that is no longer connected to the interwebs.
anyway, it's been awesome, and this here pic is what i harvested yesterday...

the red potatoes are beautiful, such a great flavour. i've shelled the beans for drying and distributing, have a look at my flickr if you want to see them.

i'm hoping that in melbourne i'll find a house with a garden, but if not i'll settle for getting involved with some community gardens. possibly ceres community environment park will be a good place to start, i'm really looking forward to checking it out!

i'm all inspired to keep gardening after the course in organic horticulture i did over the last few months. it was so beneficial to have such knowledgable tutors, and a lot of what i learned about i am really looking forward to putting into action. loving the permacultural principles, i may even consider doing a course in that some time.
