Here’s a challenge for you. How little non-recyclable rubbish can you create per week? I recently succumbed to a long standing case of Bokashi lust and bought myself the full starter pack. I really struggle with maintaining my traditional three sided compost mound and it takes such a long time to break down into something [...]

Because I like to be perverse, or because I think my readership is so small for it not be an issue, I have changed my settings to unmoderate comments. Strangely I was inspired to do so by the brouhaha that broke out over at Syrup and Tang. I think it was the reference to my [...]

Here I am, back in blogdom. I decided to take the weekend off. I had lots of lovely social stuff happening and really needed to put some time into my book. Mission accomplished.

Fridays kind of suck. At Chez KP, Friday is house cleaning day. The top to toe kind.
