counting day the days, ticking off the list

oh dear, obsession with stationery and calendars etc, means i have 3 diaries for 2011

and all i really needed was this canny idea!!

so ace

plumbing

as well as having our drain unblocked, our hot water restored and our gas heater fixed

our plumber (brett's plumbing) was able to advise on the following:

• drink sea salt (salt of the earth) and lemon juice in a litre of water (ph balanced) to get energised and de-toxed in the morning
• earnest bean company in collingwood makes excellent japanese-standard tofu
• chinese medicine (it's been around 10,000 years) is the best way to care for your body (May Wang Natural Medical Centre, 72 Normanby Ave, Thornbury, VIC 3071 Northcote VIC ph 94168624
• cell food - 5-6 drops in a litre of water, helps at a cellular level
• zeo one - negatively charged, energising - A natural volcanic ash which is essentially a negatively charged honeycomb like ‘cage’ structure capable of attracting and electro-chemically bonding with toxic minerals and metals such as lead, copper, aluminium, cadmium, nickel and arsenic for safe natural removal from the body. Clinoptilolite is a safe “alumino- silicate”, also capable of assisting the transportation of desirable and beneficial nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, potassium , sodium and iron to parts of the body where they are needed most. Therefore Zeo1 helps to make advantageous nutrients and minerals more readily ‘bio-available’ while helping to eliminate harmful others.
• you need an ioniser to transform positive ions into negative (from himalayan rock salt lamps to dinky usbs, to space age units to calm old people)

folk art

when i was growing up, we regularly received parcels from my grandparents in poland with folk figurines (it was the 70s!)

so i grew up with cute elves, pinecone people, coloured cutouts, woollen hangings

it made our house feel warm and for me, this is what "polish culture" meant - folk traditions

and i still love it

like these tin ornaments from mexico

german santa on reindeer

etsy handmade icy-pole christmas trees

paperchase felt folk cut-out christmas trees - a very nice variation on a paper theme

beautiful wooden blocks (not very xmassy except as an under-the-tree thing)

mexican christmas baubles

chocolate chip bikkies

my favourite biscuit ever is chips ahoy

(an interesting case study here, chips ahoy vs oreos)

p thinks i should only eat biscuits if i bake them myself (which is fine because i had this thought at least 7 years ago but had noone to hassle me about it)

i had a disaster with the first batch, this recipe may be better, link through here
