It’s now raining. Unexpectedly. Heavily. Torrentially. My cloth bags are all wet again.
It’s probably my fault for being entertained by the irony of climate change and cloth bags. Oops… I must make an effort to not to be cynically amused by the weather anymore. Mother Nature should not be laughed at, you’d think I’d know [...]

When I was young it always rained in June. But now thanks to climate change I can dry my eco-green-reusable-save-the-planet-cloth-bags in the sweltering sun. Don’t worry, the ironical-ness of the situation is not lost on me
Do you know, I just looked at this photo again and realised that while some of these bags [...]

Remember Dove’s “ground-breaking” Campaign for Real Beauty nonsense and their “Onslaught” video? And the fact that they are owned by Unilever who also own “Fair & Lovely” skin lightening cream sold in India? Have a look at this old post to see more on Fair & Lovely.
Well there are currently two high profile campaigns against [...]

We got a push mower, yay! Our landlord left us a horrible petrol guzzling, noisy monster of a lawnmower in the shed and I’d say we only mowed the lawn twice all last year, it scared poor littlepixie so much, even when she was indoors, and the fumes were rotten.

Today was a lovely day, the sun has finally crept high enough in the sky that our back garden can see it again so for the first time in months I could dry my laundry on the line! The house now smells of line-dried clothes, I love that smell.
