My connection is shot and so is my attention span. This has been the case for the week. (The attention span has been shot for a number of weeks now.)
First bible study back in-person last night, we had dinner out on the porch (everyone double-vaxxed) and it was so good to be able to socialise again! I made a Russian honey cake, and it was a hit, and took along the nectarine wine I made with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
eggsbenedict and that was also a hit.
My permie group is trying to decide whether or not to try to push for some community recreational space to remain as a community space, with an eye to developing a community garden/commercial property rental duo. Don't know if we can - it seems like a rather large sized project, and the council is likely to want to just flog it off for the cash dollop from the sale of at least 4 properties worth $2mil AUD undeveloped - not to mention the yearly boost in local land rates! UGH.
I have spent the last month or so trying to tease out and order my thoughts regarding vaccination and the anti-vax movement within permaculture (which has a lot of line-up with anti-authority, anti-government, and health-and-wellness movements). It's been made more difficult by the refusal of one of the founders of the movement to get vaccinated, and by the open defiance of a well-known family within the permaculture/independence-from-government movement against government restrictions.
I wrote out my thoughts here, at the![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
permaculture community. Largely on how the principle of Use and Value Diversity, backed up by the permaculture ethic of Set Limits to Allow For Fair Sharing Of Resources should be an encouragement for permies to be vaccinated.
Today, I'm probably going to start boiling the bones for another round of tonkotsu ramen.
But first I need a snack.

I got my booster today. I'm 68 (as of Monday), and I can qualify for it. It not only provides my aging (despite my best efforts) body, but keeps me from getting Covid and spreading it to others both in my age group and younger! I have friends with children under 12, and it would be wrong to go to their home and not be protected against carrying Covid to them.
