Ravs RECreations: J to J report #6 - Naughty!
http://ravsrecreations.blogspot.com/2014/02/j-to-j-report-6-naughty.html
Photo Album - Quilts. Photo Album - Sewing. Monday, 17 February 2014. J to J report #6 - Naughty! No Spend Days this week 3/7 Yeah! Although I had the best week so far in terms of 'No Spend Days', I had my first slip on my journey of not purchasing unnecessary items. What I do feel proud of is that this slip was not an unconscious one. I did not make any 'spur of the moment' purchases. I bought two items I wanted (though don't need. The first was Emma Dean's recipe book "A Homegrown Table". The Great Bri...

Photo Album - Quilts. Photo Album - Sewing. Friday, 11 May 2012. Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods - by Jeffrey M. Smith. This is the Australian Edition, other editions are introduced by well known and respected people in their markets where they are sold. To give you some idea of the content - and the main points of the book (all backed by evidence and a 40 page small font list of references) - I will list the section titles from Part 1. The new proteins will ...

Photo Album - Quilts. Photo Album - Sewing. Monday, 24 March 2014. J and J report #10. From the point of view of the challenge this week hasn't been anything special. No Spend Days 1/7, YTD 22/83. Again I haven't spent money on anything untoward, so all is going well. Http:/ www.growables.org/information/TropicalFruit/dragonfruit.htm. And their post of yesterday " Simple Living Our Own Way. They say it far better than I can (especially when I should either be sleeping or studying right now). Hmmm Whats i...

Ravs RECreations: June 2012
http://ravsrecreations.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Photo Album - Quilts. Photo Album - Sewing. Saturday, 30 June 2012. My favourite sort of bread is sourdough - it just seems to have so much more flavour, texture and body and today I made my first loaves! I've been meaning to try making a sourdough starter for a while, but you know how it is, I just didn't find one of those round to-its. Fortunately J5 and I went to stay with some dear friends in Stanthorpe. Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble. Ready for the first proof. In to bake, closely following instru...

Ravs RECreations: J to J report #5
http://ravsrecreations.blogspot.com/2014/02/j-to-j-report-5.html
Photo Album - Quilts. Photo Album - Sewing. Sunday, 9 February 2014. J to J report #5. No Spend Days this week 1/7. YTD 8/41. So I guess I am amending my 'Nice' list to include the odd book. Coffee is still my downfall, so I have also purchased a decent thermos to take coffee from home to Uni. 6 coffees not purchased from the cafe will cover the cost so it seems justified. What do you think? How did your week go? Did you achieve your own personal goal for the week? 10 February 2014 at 07:01. Hopefully it...

Photo Album - Quilts. Photo Album - Sewing. Sunday, 23 February 2014. J to J report #6, on the value of Cleaners. No Spend Days this week 2/7; YTD 13/55. I've been debating the value of having a cleaner over the last couple of weeks, given that I'm currently not 'working'. Can we justify the expense when I 'should' be able to get this done in my 'time-off'? I qualify those words above with single quotes because:. Mould, easier to ignore when it is outside and not visible to visitors. 1 I dislike cleaning.

Photo Album - Quilts. Photo Album - Sewing. Sunday, 26 February 2012. I've been experiencing some pest issues lately. First - grasshoppers are having a feast on my wee little apple trees. I've never seen the shed skin of a grasshopper before. Have you? And from a different angle. I manage to catch quite a few, then I go up to the chicken coop, call the girls, and give them a real treat! Also damaging the passionfruit are our first FRUIT FLY! So you are setting yourself up for disaster. Which is in my per...

Ravs RECreations: July 2013

Photo Album - Quilts. Photo Album - Sewing. Monday, 22 July 2013. So long - and big changes. I can't believe it is over a year since I posted on this blog! I completed my Permaculture Design Course at Northey Street City Farm. But progress on implementing the plan in my garden has been slow. Firstly because it is just sooooo hot and humid here in the summer, and then because I began another course. This one is a really big deal - I'm changing careers! I am specialising in Physics. Where I will write abou...
