Re: Fitness for 2014

I am still recovering from surgery, so although I have regained most of my mobility I'm still limited. I went for a walk today. Only 5km and relatively easy going (compared to some of the walking I was doing before I had surgery) and my surgery area has swollen and is giving me more pain. It's very ...

Re: Is there a wrong way????

Kind of following on from the surgical masks stuff. Someone mentioned eye protection and I just wanted to add my own story there. My housemate is a craftsman. Years back he used to buy the specs type safety glasses, he went out and bought proper ones after they didn't stop a speck of metal getting i...

Re: Mental and organational fitness

I suffer from depression. Actually it would be more accurate at the moment to say that I am recovering from severe depression. 2013 was horrible for me, my depression got really bad but I managed to keep going to work and functioning through life. I was advised to investigate a mindful approach. I d...

Re: Chickens

See I've seen plenty of people talk about the annoyance of all that poo which chickens provide. The time cleaning up and the money on the bedding materials. I really don't see it like that. I provide a house, food, and water to my chickens. They provide entertainment, eggs and compost. The house was...

Re: Is your food storage helping right now?

The way I generally manage my meat stockpile is all in my freezer (alas, because one of my freezers has just died). I actually go to the shops regularly but I don't necessarily buy much/anything. I have a few cheaper items which are easy to include in meals such as chicken thighs, beef mince, pork s...

Re: Keyhole Garden

The frame was a bought one. It's actually 8 pieces which fix together so there are no stakes. I haven't tried to protect it in anyway, but judging by the last year it will last a good few years more. It was just what I had on hand.

Re: Food and fuel poverty approaching?

It's actually not terribly easy to get food from a food bank. They're usually referral only, from people who can see what a person's income actually is. Also many people are limited in the number of food parcels they can get, so they might only get a few a year amounting to maybe a one or two's food...
