I've found it really difficult to post in the last week, although I'm getting quite a lot of things done. (It's never enough. My brain keeps piping up to tell me I could be doing more faster and with better efficiency, even though I know that it's not entirely practical.)
My left arm has really started aching, so I've had to ease off in the garden a little. The chooks are still not integrating, but the 'New Shanghai' are no longer running away every time I come by. (Just sometimes.) We've done some integration with the 'Original Recipe' and while Hainan still dominates the other two unmercifully, they just run away instead of cowering.
I wrote the 2nd part in the 'So You Panic Bought Chooks' series: Real Chooken Keeping: Living Conditions. It's very long and goes into way more detail than is probably necessary, but I enjoyed writing it.
Also, have a time-lapse of the New Shanghai having a go in the chook tractor. I don't know if it will work here or if one has to go to flickr to see.
I was hoping to gift a first draft of this novel to a friend, but I haven't even gotten out of Act I yet.
I just had a chat with my permaculture group, and suggested letter-writing as a small-but-useful advocacy action instead of the giant white paper submissions that she's been gunning for lately and which seem huge. All a writing campaign takes is a postcard or paper and an envelope, an address for the local political member's office, and a stamp.
Ironically, the Advocacy Team lead actually lives on the same street as the Mayor of the local council, and the Federal member for our electorate. So technically we could just stuff things in their mailbox... Probably not the best way to do things, eh?
Next post will be quilting stuff with photos.
