Even working in a job where I can cope easily with a cold, all I was really doing was postponing the recovery period until the weekend.

		<description><![CDATA[I just wanted to pick up on the comments on Ran&#8217;s blog about schooling and socialisation because ever since we started telling people we were unschooling our children (often we just say homeschooling so as not to frighten them) the single most common objection we receive is;
&#8220;But what about you&#8217;re child&#8217;s socialistion?&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[I heard of the connection between soil and health along time ago but as usual it&#8217;s taken a while for the full impact to sink in.  The lack of minerals and nutrients in our soil is probably one of the most important issues we face and undoubtably the major cause of our health problems [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=villageblog.wordpress.com&blog=1461092&post=192&subd=villageblog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What I&#8217;d really like is to break out of the hold civilisation has over me.  It&#8217;s a hold put there in my childhood by the school system. Unfortunately for me my father was a school principal in that system so I got &#8217;schooled&#8217; at home as well.
Dad always gets a raw deal in these [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=villageblog.wordpress.com&blog=1461092&post=185&subd=villageblog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

However I still have one weakness in this area and it pretty much cancels out the gains I have made [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=villageblog.wordpress.com&blog=1461092&post=184&subd=villageblog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Over the last three months I’ve been working for a friend of mine at his hardware store in Raglan. The store is a lot smaller than the big boxes found in larger towns and cities so there’s plenty of variety in the work but all the same I’m amazed at how much I’m enjoying it.

The previous five years or so have been a huge expansion and probably I went too far too soon and now I’m consequently turning more inward.
