If I don't write this now I know I won't get around to it for another few days. I am half way through the 2 weeks of no wheat and no dairy and I am thoroughly fed up with it to be honest. It fell across a week away seeing various family last week which stopped me having food the same as others at cafes; at the pancake house at Center Parcs (they could do gluten free but the pancake mix had milk powder in it :-( ) and no puddings anywhere. Also I tried to get a salad at Marks and Spencers on the way home and NONE of their salads are dairy or wheat free. I couldn't believe that!!! I don't know how allergy sufferers or concerned consumers do it to be honest and I am still eating oats and rye and other gluten containing grains. I think I need to do a bit more research into the gluten thing though as I don't think that eating as much porridge and rye bread as I am at the moment is doing me any good. Anyway enough of the whining.
The exciting stuff -> the forest school taster morning was fab and I want to look more into that as a way of sharing nature with my kids and others as part of my Permaculture adventure. Collected loads of fir cones and fire-lighting stuff at that forest and at Center Parcs. I so love that nature provides all these cool things. Also have been eating blackberries all over the place over the last week. Also as part of the PD (permaculture diploma - PD is what I will call it from now on) I have made a pact with a fellow PD student to spend less time on facebook per day as an incentive to get more stuff done. So from today (and yes I have managed it today so far) I am limiting myself to less than an hour on facebook. It might help my mood as well as I do tend to be a 'grass is greener' on the other side type of person where I see what exciting things other people are doing and wish I was doing those things too - thus not giving myself enough time to do the cool things that others are doing!!!! Ah - the social-network-vicious-cycle. My not-washing-my-hair is in its 8th week and it has been quite yucky for the last week and still is so not quite sure how that is going to be honest. I am going to stick with it though as even though it feels greasy at the moment I still prefer the way it looks and want to see how it goes past 8 weeks.
