Ach,
It has been too long since I have posted here.
Since switching my podcast blog over to it's new site and starting a new media related blog and working on the forum I hardly have free writing time for the drivel which usually clogs this place.
I am again, on the ferry headed to the mainland. It is a great, quite, peaceful hour in my life usually. Music is on--Coldplay, Sparks at the minute. The Acoustic version. Eldest daughter and Rowan are in the truck sleeping--it has just turned 8am.
I'm on my way to pick up 6 piglets this morning in addition to some supplies for a catering job. My life has spun out of control lately. Between the above mentioned blogs, and podcast, I have been actively fighting Animal ID to help save your rights to own pets and livestock freely. Unfortunately we are loosing the battle and it is draining.
All this comes as we increase our own livestock amounts in an effort to get away from having to buy industrial, commercially raised crap. We are also in the midst of clean up a 33 acre estate to prep if for sale. If we can sell the family pile then we can move, be free, and own our own farm--or when that is outlawed--a multi acre weedpatch and nature reserve.
Meanwhile midwinter madness has sent in and in everything I do I am feeling a little touched in the head. Hopefully today I can get to the accountant to get our taxes done. Whatever we get back this year won't be enough to crawl out of the piles of debt we're in. It usually is. The economic undertow in this country is dragging us out to sea to drown.
I'll try to be better at updating this blog a bit more often. If you wish to keep up do visit the gastroblog--especially to hear how todays piggy capers turn out.
By for now.
