The big 50.
Surprise visitor – very nice to have and good luck for tomorrow. Matt gives a geography lesson.
Our driveway is like a skating rink.
Foot update – its all gone gimpy.
AJ is drinking Raspberry Green Tea (Celestial Gardens) and Matt is drinking a Twinnings of London Green Tea.
Two loads of wood delivered in the week.
We could see backwards in time:
AJ likes the Antiques Roadshow.
Work update – whole supervisor shift. 1m different lottery tickets and scratchcard. No news from jobs. Also being trained to work in the cash office.
Spencer mips.
Sewing machine went backwards and now doesn't go. AJ has started knitting.
AJ – planting update on “Zone 1” – permaculture term.
Herb garden:
Tofu - looks cost effective - it almost sounds like we have a plan to be more self reliant.
Fence the vegetable plot using our own wood for posts. AJ going to start coppicing
Home made alcohol – not worked
Bread – great – pasta was good but not cheaper and lots of faff.
Yoghurt – be nice to find a yoghurt maker. Our old one is being used to still make yoghurt in Wales.
Bad things
AJ – snowy roads
Matt – sliding sideways in the Jeep and worrying about AJ driving in the snow
Good things
AJ – scratching his creativity
Matt – learning new stuff at work
Got cut off in mid flow by the music.

Good to see you both today,
For regular listeners just to let you know Matt & AJ live in a great place absolutley full of character. Its very warm with lots of hidden nooks and crannies. Snow too deep to yomp round the woods maybe next time. Dylan & Spencer look well settled and obviously spoilt rotten. Can verify that the snow may exclude visitors without 4 wheel drive.
See you again soon.
Mark
PS its my driving test I have tomorrow which I am being wished luck for!
Good luck with the test today Mark!
I think we probably gave the game away with the "luck and judgement" comments.
Yes, visitors without 4 wheel may be better to park at the end of the drive and walk down (welly boots required).
nah, non-electric yoghurt is easy... can supply a step-by-step if needed
Hey - glad to see you got England' s place right - below Scotland ;0)

AJ,
Do you know how to handspin already?
Hi Ellen
I understand the theory of hand spinning, but have never had the opportunity to put it into practice.
What I have learned about myself, is that I can often do things if I understand the mechanics of what I'm doing
This might end up a double post, apologies if it does. I make yogurt with an Easiyo insulated container http://www.easiyo.com/
I don't really like the taste of their yogurt, so tried today with UHT milk and a dessertspoon of M&S bio yogurt. Worked a treat and I think that you could do the same thing in a thermos flask?? Worth a try.
