Self-sufficiency, permaculture design, sustainable living, alternative energy, homebrew, earth-centred community, our ecotechnic future. A friend visiting from Sweden brought us a few beers to sample, chiefly a few Christmas (spiced) Ales, or Julöls, which are apparently popular there. Among them a Cacao Porter from the Malmö Brewery which he praised highly. Now both of us are very fond of Porters. I have a particular Porter recipe. A Molpy's Ale),. Formulated in honour of the epic and wonderful XKCD.

Equally happy to display cost in our native R. As part of the Solar Project. One, well, now I'm measuring every electrical device in sight. I started, predictably, with my PC.

Self-sufficiency, permaculture design, sustainable living, alternative energy, homebrew, earth-centred community, our ecotechnic future. World Made by Nuts. So yesterday was one of those days when you just know you're going to waste a bunch of time attending to annoying, but sort-of necessary, stuff. To get the car diagnosed and fixed I took it to Dr Quincy the Car Wizard in George (he's brilliant! This product was packed in a factory that uses tree nuts.". I don't doubt that there are some unfortunate i...

Self-sufficiency, permaculture design, sustainable living, alternative energy, homebrew, earth-centred community, our ecotechnic future. I've been updating some of the info pages on the wiki. Some of the varieties are new to me: Malawi. Seed was acquired from friends and barter, and started in late February, and the first-to-seed varieties are just producing flower spikes about now. Others are old friends: Forellenschluss. I do wish I'd had bed space for growing more varieties, but I don't so that's abou...

Self-sufficiency, permaculture design, sustainable living, alternative energy, homebrew, earth-centred community, our ecotechnic future. Spring Planting has Begun. Hopefully slightly more relevant than my last post about The Crooked Car Dealer. At long last. The first seeds of the season have been sown. If our summer was anything to go by, youre probably in for another fucked-up year, but it wasnt as bad as last year. Im deep into the changing seed law here. The debates in European parliaments have s...

Self-sufficiency, permaculture design, sustainable living, alternative energy, homebrew, earth-centred community, our ecotechnic future. We're forming a local conservancy with the goals of preserving our neighbourhood's natural and historic environment, and, hopefully, as a tool to help us build a community with some resilience against climate change and post-carbon energy descent. Yay (maybe). Still don't have to buy municipal water or sewerage connections. For a long time we were able to stick our head...
