Vi har stadig ikke fået nogen sne spare op til den lille smule i oktober, at smeltet temmelig hurtigt.
Jeg har arbejdet på min køkkenhave plantning layout for næste år og min frø ordre. Jeg håber at finde plads til at plante lidt af alle de frø, som jeg i øjeblikket har nu og vil bestille.
Der er en masse af plastbeholdere i min kælder er klar til vinteren såning - mit første forsøg. Indtal mig nogle gode råd og links til info!
Jeg er også udarbejde planer for et vindue drivhus. Jeg har en god størrelse vindue i mit mudder rum, som har tendens til at få tingene stablet foran den (min søn er synderen) der gør det ser virkelig skidt på ydersiden. Det bliver en masse morgensol, så jeg tænkte det kunne være et dejligt sted at etablere nogle greens og krydderurter til vinter brug. Jeg tror, at de vil se meget bedre ud gennem vinduet end bunker af bøger og fitness tøj!
Jeg har stadig ikke bragt i min rosmarin, da det er at holde den egne i det kolde vejr. Det vil komme i denne weekend. Hvis du er et koldt klima gartner - rosmarin gør fint i en container og overvintrer store i huset i en solrig vindue. Faktisk får rosmarin virkelig bud i vinteren og er endnu bedre!
Jeg fortsætter til forskning hoop huse på udkig efter det bedste design til min anvendelser. Når jeg gør bygge min, kan du være sikker på, at der vil være en trin-for-trin post. Og jeg vil blive meget tættere på året rundt havearbejde!
Indtil da ... Jeg plejer at vende min opmærksomhed mod køkkenet om vinteren, hvor jeg kokken overmenneskeligt; meget til glæde for alle, der kender mig og bor i nærheden af mig, som de får tonsvis af god mad (jeg koge måde mere, end jeg kunne eller burde spise !).

Obesity
Obesity is when a person is carrying too much body fat for their height and sex. A person is considered obese if they have a Body Mass Index (BMI) - weight in kilograms divided by their height in meters squared - of 30 or greater. Obesity can happen when you eat more calories than you burn off over a period of time.
The rate at which you burn off calories from food and drink is known as your metabolic rate. This is often faster during growth spurts and puberty, but reaches a fairly steady rate by adulthood.
People who are very active generally have a higher metabolic rate than those who are inactive because they burn off calories faster through energetic activity. For example, a labourer working on a building site may need as many as 4,000-5,000 calories a day to keep an even weight. In contrast, an office worker who uses a car to get to work, and does not exercise, may only need 1,500 calories a day.
If the amount of calories provided by your daily food intake is more than the calories that you burn off, your body will store the extra energy as fat. This is the body's way of protecting itself in case of starvation. However, starvation in developed countries is extremely rare, and this insurance against 'hard times' is hardly ever needed.
Most of us have more food than we need, and much of it is higher in calories than the human body was originally designed to cope with. Fast foods, high calorie snacks, and large portions all mean it is easy to take in more energy than we need. Obesity has now become one of the most serious medical problems of the western world.
