Of sorts... Spotted local restauranteur Marco Abdi lining up at Chef Mario's burger place in Bridgeland... Just knew I'd get a reaction... LOL Marco himself has owned a well known Italian restaurant a couple of blocks away for many years...

25.08.20. Headed to the marché, passed the local fruits and veggies stands.. lots of choice here.. all from Quebec.
A caboose to boot. This train was heading towards the interchange with Elkhart and Western Railroad.
Clearly unimpressed with my skill sets a local donkey cart driver offered to give me a lift 3000 km to Victoria Falls!
These boys had been swimming and came for a look when we pulled up for the driver to buy some seafood. They were asking for money after the photo's were taken. They got some lollies out of us.
This photo was taken in September 2018 and is of cabbage being grown at a local organic farm that provides vegetables to the local community through community supported agriculture (CSA). The idea of CSA ties in very closely to the United Nation Sustainable Development Goal 12, of sustainable production and consumption patterns. A farm that runs based on CSA lends itself very well to sustainable consumption patterns because the consumer of the vast majority of the products that come from these farms do not require much travel to get to their end destination and as such have a much lower environmental consequence. Additionally since this is an organic farm, especially one located in the state of Maryland many sustainable production practices are already in effect. The state of Maryland has a wide range of nutrient testing that is required of agricultural land and through this testing dramatically reduces the excess nutrients that are normally offloaded onto agricultural land. These regulations combined with the management practices and lack of synthetic chemicals that make this an organic farm are what help to move towards more environmentally sound management of chemicals and pesticides used for food production. Additionally this farm in particular has systems in place to help conserve one of Earth’s scarcest resources, water. A drip line irrigation system is in place across all of the cultivated land resulting in the use of 60% less water at this site than if it was irrigated traditionally, further helping to ensure sustainable production of food.
Ron a Portobello road resident can often be seen sitting in this wheelchair outside his flat having a quick ciggie. We always nod to each other and say hello. This time I stopped and asked if I could take his photo.

VENDING ON the streets is an old, but growing problem in Jamaica. In most urban and emerging urbanised communities, public spaces, especially sidewalks, are littered with vendors.
The problem is so acute that several parish councils are moving to curtail its growth. Apart from the aesthetics, sidewalk vending is a menace, hindering both pedestrian and vehicular traffic flow.
On any given day, city streets and towns are cluttered with vendors trying to take advantage of the large consumerist appetite of the Jamaican public.
But many are not selling on the streets for the sheer love of being there. For several, there is nothing else to do. Employment opportunities are scarce, and with the high price of food, there is a need, others say, to supplement the income of their households.
This specific local vendor sat and made me a necklace from the tiniest of seed beads making sure everything was just perfect for me. The cost to me was $2.00 US which was $171.00 Jamaican.
Lee Knight is a kind of beemaster around here. I bought my 'packages' of bees from him. This is his pumpkin/alfalfa honey that he harvested about a week or so ago. Beautiful color. We happened to meet up at Thanksgiving Point where there was a Farmer's Market this afternoon/evening

Fortunately the English countryside is still well populated with a variety of sheep to provide an added attraction to the beautiful scenery. Yesterday we stopped to watch a farmer and his collie round up a herd and move them to another field. The sheep dogs are a marvel to watch as they race around at the subtle commands of the farmer to round them up and move them in the desired direction. And the dogs obviously love their work.
A few local wines and a couple tasty organic European wines we recently discovered at a tasting.
Oh, and a Lagunitas coffee stout.:)
See notes.

David, Prague resident and fellow workshop student, graciously takes the mark on the stage I am waiting to be populated with players. Sadly, noone showed up, and the opportunity for an assignment piece passed by. Taken on Ming Thein's workshop in Prague, studying the "Reportage" style.
