'Work' seems to have become heavily influenced in recent times by financial aspects and/or 'control' measures, which are influences external to the individual and could then run the risk of cutting accross individual 'internal' motivation. Such a situation may work against any self-responsibility, self-motivation 'freerange' type instincts and values, helping then to explain any limitations, particularly in the longer-term, to money/control work management situations. Notions such as 'vocational' work may look outdated in such money-orientated times, but nevertheless may yet be important to individuals, although the power of money inducements to condition thinking and attitudes could be relatively strong.

Winter's a-coming-------
October 17, 2011 · 9 Comments
October's a time when there's not too much to do on the eco micro-holding growing-wise, and the urge is more focused on work and jobs to do to prepare for winter - predicted here to be quite severe again. Some jobs are bigger, like renovating and 'making good' the conservatory, and house painting, others are smaller such as bringing in a supply of logs, digging the last of the spuds and putting the runner bean foliage onto the compost heap.
Solar production is dipping with cloudier skies but can still be a help, as can the shortly expected load of 'waste' wood - cunningly designed to make a hole in those allegedly inflated profits the big energy companies are raking in.
