Acupuncture #2

Had to wait twenty minutes for my appointment today. My therapist had been robbed. Her car was broken into , glass smashed,door damaged and bag containing journal and notes taken.

This is worrying , since our ID's are in there. Someone , walking through the woods had phoned her to say that they'd found her bag, BUT , had simply left it there *duhhhhh* How stupid ! She's still hoping her notes at least will be returned as in these cases thieves are usually after money.

Apart from that , I really enjoyed my session. Snored my way through it and woke up refreshed

Slow food is soul food

The Slow Food movement began in 1986 when an Italian journalist visited Rome and saw a brand new branch of McDonalds at the foot of the Spanish Steps.

Carlo Petrini was horrified. To him, it seemed that a global takeover of industrialised, standardised fast food was well on the way - and it could be the beginning of the end for the huge variety of good, traditional, regional Italian food. He decided that it was necessary to set up a 'slow food' movement to counteract the potential for 'fast food' world domination.

Food should taste GOOD: the frantic fast world's obessions with unnecessary industrialisation, excessive 'food miles', standardisation and homogeneity very often result in bland food that simply doesn't taste as good as food that has been produced locally with care, pride and passion.

Food should be CLEAN: it should be produced in a sustainable way, without any negative impact on our environment, and with a minimum of artificial intervention.

Food should be produced in a FAIR way: its producers should not be exploited but should be paid a fair amount for their skill and labour.

None of this means that Slow Food is against progress or technological advances. Far from it, Slow Food is a truly progressive concept that seeks to utilise mankind's ever-expanding knowledge base to retain and develop the diversity of all that is best in our world heritage.

Makes sense to me . Slow food is SOUL FOOD

There's an R in the month now

There's an R in the month now :yes: the central heating is on and outside temperature last night was only 7C.

A friend and I spent the afternoon at Rosendal gardens on Djurgården in Stockholm

It was still warm enough to sit outside and enjoy a biodynamic lunch in the apple orchard. Have noticed how tasty and full of life force fruit and veggies are that have been grown in this way ? Tastier and more filling .. more satisfying. More expensive too- I paid 9kr for a big crisp and juicy apple - but it was worth it.

In other news , my house guest has now left and gone back to Mariefred where she is staying with one of her godmothers. It was fun having her stay here and equally good to reclaim my space again. I love visitors but also love and appreciate my space.
