Playing with beer caps

Here is a simple game you can play with some beer caps of various colors. It's very simple but fun to play it alone against yourself to match or better your best score; otherwise you can play it in a tournament with as many people as you want.

Mending a hole

Not quite like the gorgeous Beatles song about fixing a hole... anyway mending a hole in your socks can become a really nice meditation and it helps you to improve very quickly your sawing skills. Inserting a hard and round object is the very basic way to do it with ease.

More so when I realized this handy trick to make things even easier.

To notch or not to notch

In these days, setting up the various pieces of a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle that does not exist... yet! Lots of improvements in the construction method already allowed a rapid series of achievements in the project.

Lot's of hand tools and just two kinds of wood until now: redwood and Douglas fir from a local lumber yard.

Post hole digger meditation

Meditation of a post hole digger. Every Yoga, every sutra... it's just a suggestion! Daily actions are way more inspiring and challenging, when you're making the real muscles. 

NUTurella, natural nutella

Some weeks ago I came across an interesting picture, listing the approximate content of ingredients of the famous hazelnut flavoured chocolate spread.

Top to bottom:
palm oil,
skimmed milk powder,
fat cocoa,
hazelnut,
(white) sugar.
No big surprises... I have always known we should get that out of our breakfast table. So I was very thankful when a friend shared a recipe for an alternative vegan chocolate spread and this gave me the hint to make my own Ohmemade version... with hemp of course! 
(Original recipe in Italian language, without hemp here)

Geodesic ecovillage views

In these days me and my son are busy taking part at an amazing construction workshop... using bamboo to build a reciprocal geodesic dome!
