Writing a book about Leicester Fixers and Repair

Writing a book for a general audience came into my awareness for few weeks now with friends suggesting to turn my doctorate into a book. Then, I was invited to celebrate a girlfriend birthday in Nottingham. Unable to drive to the destination, I was picked up by a newly published author. We spoke all the way there and back about the process of writing a book and some of steps involved in delivering the written product. In the evening. I discussed some of the elements with another friend who told me that she will help me find the necessary funding to make this happen. My first book is about Leicester Fixers, Repair, the Doctorate and more. I want to be able to raise some funding to continue and expand the development of sustainable communities within Leicester,  Leicestershire and Rutland. Through the book, I want to be able to raise necessary funds to do this. Fingercrossed, this will be possible. 

If you would like to support me with this project, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Ambivalent feelings about staying or leaving

Can you do both at the same time? Yes you can do both, do not ever think that where you are is static, the place is constantly changing and it is within the details that you can find new meaning for oneself and if this is not enough, plan time in and go to come back different..

Designers of Money Futures - Permaculture

The latest Permaculture session I had was 'Money Futures'. We discussed the reasons why we need Money, the impact of money on the global and living world. Questions were asked about the other alternatives of money and whether we could do without it. It became clear that the discussion was a difficult one to have as we recognise our needs to belong. We recognise our needs to improve our surroundings. We recognise how much unskilled and clueless we were. We recognise the power of money in making our wishes reality by filling the gap of our own inabilities. Human relationship is probably the most expensive commodity. It forces some to enter the rat-race for happiness and belonging. It is an unfortunate conclusion. Luckily enough, it is not the end of the story. There are many alternatives to money and the gift economy is actually in scale a lot more prominent that people might think. It is not promoted on television but for sure it exists. Join a voluntary group, knock...

Sleep, a precious nightmare

I am the light sleeper. Night is my 'precious nightmare'. I shut the windows and my thick curtain tight. Then, I advice everyone that I am going to sleep. Darkness and silence are precious commodities at bedtime. The lack of sleep due to unforeseen reasons is a high cost for me and anyone around me. When the night roar and turn into day, I battle through the night against the outside world. The outside world is a funny place. Its tremor is different depending on where you live.  I grew up in the countryside as a child where the night is pitch and the birds jam all day long. At bedtime, my only enemies were the clock and the light. The tick-tock danced a manic waltz in my bedroom once, twice. It always ended up at the door, without batteries or smashed against the wall. The light entered in my room through the bottom of the door. It brought with it white ghosts and witches. I'd stared at them. I'd wait for them to leave but they would not. My only o...
