a political act

urban farming has become a political act in itself by short circuiting the food industry's bear hug.

let me introduce my lettuce starters.will eat good fresh chemical free salads soon

 have baby eggplant plantules  and got this urban 

 garden set up to plant them this week along with

some rucula and courgettes. waiting for the fine gravel to be delivered. will aid in making the soil  looser and less clogging prone. 

 this is on the other side, the garden side because the soul also needs food. the soul is devastated because the banksia said good bye after a profuse blooming.

clematis,hostas and heucheras are doing fine.so far.

freedom to do

finished japanese till next year. this year has been tough ,i was not depending on what ryo sensei taught me, so all was new, not much oral practice and lots of difficult grammar. classes are very much grammar oriented here no pera pera 😞

the good news was that during those two weeks of solid studying the loom was acting up.
had refurbished the stretched cords and it stopped working.usually with electronics it's that  cables that aren't properly plugged. not here as the solenoids were firing, it was something that prevented the loom from talking to the computer.
now with time in my hands i checked everything i could think of and NADA.however in a moment of inspiration i checked the only thing i hadn't before unscrewing the loom box and fitting it again, something i avoid because it's terribly heavy and a very tight fit.
it was the magnet!! yes, had moved the magnet to avoid losing it and placed it on the lifting knife with the wrong pole as contacting pole.

long winding story to say back to weaving.
