Mon #stage #paysan est terminé. (HOURRA !!!)
Mais donc fini la pataugeoire : c'est désormais le grand bain.
Je commence les premières #transformations (#cuisine des #conserves) la semaine prochaine.
Le jour même de la fin de mon stage, on a commencé l'#EntreAide paysanne avec un collègue #maraîcher de la commune.
#Binage guidé chez lui et #gyrobroyage chez moi.

I’m hugely excited to be presenting The Bewilderment Game as part of the #Transformations23 conference.

Remembering that embarrassing night when I talked myself into expecting the Rapture in 1984. In the long run, the End of the World preachers did me a favor - taught me to take all preachers with grain of salt.
