CROCHETERS WANTED.
We are a group of older ladies who make patchwork quilts and we also knit and crochet squares and strips to make into blankets for poor people in Moldova and Romania. We are always needing wool and material scraps to keep us going but right now we also need a couple of people who would be willing to crochet round the edges of the blankets when they have been sewn together. If you can crochet and have a bit of free time to help us finish off our blankets, or if you have material scraps suitable for patchwork or odd balls of wool/acrylic, we would love to hear from you. Please call me on 021-057-0371. Pat Gregory

Cooking with Quinoa: The Supergrain - Rena Patten

New Holland, 2011. Hardback, 192 pages, excellent condition

Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a grain, but not just any grain. It is considered to be almost a complete food. It is very high in protein, full of vitamins, gluten- and wheat-free, cholesterol-free and usually organic. And it is simply delicious.

In the kitchen, quinoa has a huge range of uses and lends itself beautifully to so many dishes. When cooked, it has a very delicate texture and is lovely in soups and sweets, and makes wonderful salads, pasta, breads and delicious vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals. It is simple to prepare, easy to digest and most enjoyable to eat

How Addictive Eaters Anonymous works

Members of Addictive Eaters Anonymous (AEA) achieve sobriety by sharing their experience, strength and hope with each other and living the Twelve Step programme of recovery as a way of life. By regular attendance at AEA meetings, getting a sponsor, working the steps, keeping in contact with sober members, and carrying the message of recovery to the still suffering addictive eater, members are freed from addictive eating and the obsession with food.

Newcomers sometimes struggle to understand how AEA works. There are no rules and no one appears to be in charge. No one seems to tell anyone else what to do. This is because AEA members simply share what has worked for them. They are guided by the the Twelve Traditions of Addictive Eaters Anonymous. Members have found from their own experience that change must come from within and cannot be forced upon another person. At the heart of the AEA programme is the spiritual concept of surrender. When a newcomer is ready and asks a member for help, the following suggestions are generally made to them:

EarthDiverse welcomes Earth Day, an annual event on 22 April that celebrates and demonstrates our support for environmental preservation and protection on a global scale.

A bit of history: In 1969 at a UNESCO Conference in San Francisco, peace activist John McConnell proposed a day to honour the Earth and the concept of peace, to be held on 21 March 1970, the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere. This day was later sanctioned in a proclamation written by McConnell and signed by UN Secretary General U Thant. A month later, US Senator Gaylord Nelson proposed the idea to hold a nationwide environmental teach-in on 22 April 1970, and hired Denis Hayes to be the National Coordinator. Nelson and Hayes renamed the event "Earth Day". Denis and his staff grew the event beyond the original idea for a teach-in to include the entire US. More than 20 million people poured out on the streets, and the first Earth Day remains the largest single-day protest in human history.

In 1990, Denis and others made it international and organised events in 141 countries. On Earth Day 2016, the landmark Paris Agreement was signed by the US, UK, China, and 120 other countries. This signing satisfied a key requirement for the historic draft climate protection treaty adopted by consensus of the 195 nations present at the 2015 UN Climate Change Conference in Paris. On Earth Day 2020, over 100 million people around the world observed the 50th anniversary in what is being referred to as the largest online mass mobilisation in history.

Join us in celebrating and protecting our amazing home, our Mother, Planet Earth. It’s the only one we have!
