@themathscaptain and I are finally trying out collaborative working in Jaffa the Van. It is definitely squeezy but mostly quiet. via Instagram http://ift.tt/2Eryk3b

50c in the library for sale pile! I’ve been referring to Illich’s Deschooling Society for years from a PDF. Finding my very own book copy is excellent as these ideas go to the heart of making an education suitable for a perma(nent)culture. #permacultureteachingmatters #revolutiondisguisedasgardening #producenowaste via Instagram http://ift.tt/2nJ5Vvb

First evening to my social introvert self in weeks. It turns out that a colour theme is emerging what with my Fairphone 2, knitting bag and hardware store craft project. Things that I am loving right now are that the local library had Tao Orion‘s book, the audiobook of Philip Pullman’s La Belle Sauvage and the strawbale place we are housesitting in the bush. via Instagram http://ift.tt/2GzF11F

A trip to the local hardware store revealed cotton braided rope and builders twine in HOT PINK. Ultimately what emerges, hopefully a basket will be designed for disassembly and reuse should hot pink rope containers ever lose favour in my life. via Instagram http://ift.tt/2nqt05H

We have been lent a fantastic plastic boat for a day or two’s sailing in Geographe Bay. While steel hulls are my first preference, if you are going to use up fossil fuels glass fibre trailer sailboats are a pretty good outcome.

The most amazing cherry tomatoes are dropping off the plant at the back of the Margaret River Club (behind the IGA). I have to return soon in order to save seed. #mappingedges #urbanforaging via Instagram http://ift.tt/2F0xmI7

While I’m on the road and property hunting in the South West of Australia, I’m teaching permaculture modules online and “on-earth” @fair_harvest_permaculture. I’m contributing a video module on designing for catastrophe to an online PDC taught by dozens of experienced and up-and-coming permaculture teachers*. My final video has been filmed – “tripods” so far have included totem tennis poles with laundry line and here a power line and string. * did I mention that the teachers are all _women_ from around the world? So nice to show the power and knowledge with all of these permaculture sisters. #permaculturewomen #permacultureteaching #teleprompter via Instagram http://ift.tt/2FVAVjT

Jaffa the van is parked next to the beach bubble family and our 6 year old niece just surprised me with a perfect cup of tea. via Instagram http://ift.tt/2r5QKRQ

We are not yet living the minimalist #vanlife as our first trip is to meet up with the family of @themathscaptain at their beach house. So, we are carrying booze, an esky full of fridge emptied food, a boat shaped shelf, plants, #mrfrosty, a sewing machine, fabric, a #scythe and matching scythe art. via Instagram http://ift.tt/2C0hRCF
