Need an environmental/food pick-me-up?

I am keenly aware that many of the blog posts here are a happy mix of gloom and alarmist. Let's face it, there are a lot of gloomy and alarming things going on in the world at the moment. I'm fun at parties too!

Micro-update on the building process, Isaac and I will likely paint the shop this week if we can move all the junk out of the the way.
