spring in the countryside

saturday i dragged myself out of a warm bed (an hour late) and got on the trains to london's southwestern suburbs. to a sponge strategy day at bedzed. forgot to take pictures, while eating yummy organic food and debating where the sustainability agenda will be in5 years. decided on some priorities to take further - i'm down to develop the 'sustainability is more than addresing climate change' agenda, specifically to bring in non-architect/enginnering types into sponge. right up my alley, with my background in community engagement and urbanism.

a lazy afternoon & evening over at z's empty house, reading books and writing my papers. laughter in the sunshine and good food - a soy/port reduction sauce to top off the perfectly seared tuna.

josi arrived yesterday evening, to a broccili cheese dinner and years of catching up.

2 essays due this week, 2 major meetings, the first classes of term (why am i blogging instead of working?)
