Hedvig’s permaculture diploma

Oh, I know, it sounds like a lot of fun.  In order not to procrastinate too much, I did cushioned today’s activity with a fair amount of work in the garden.  But the assessing did get done, and some interesting findings did come out of it.

I knew that my life wasn’t financially sustainable because I don’t earn enough.  Equally I knew that for this year I was prepared to go into my savings in order to get through the first year of running the organisation.  What was more surprising is that it is more possible to get things to be sustainable and it wouldn’t require too much, which would be awesome.

I have also decided that I am going to move out of London and to Brighton, which I’m really excited about.   So I started surveying interesting organisation and going through websites to see if there are any jobs around for the non-growing season.  I got the info I need from HMCR to figure out my tax… so the fun never ceases.

What went well?  Straight forward analysis, going on to assess job opportunities.

What didn’t go so well?   The internet was cutting out today, so couldn’t continue research into organisation.

Vision?   Contentedly settled into Brighton, earning more money to be able to get ‘Get Growing’ growing.  Research teaching positions in Brighton, continue research for organisations and jobs.  Develop business plan and scenarios.

Next steps? Emails about other work for this summer, think through and assess what want from work,
