Day 4 Al's blog post..travelling and growing in Victoria part 2

Today was a great day. I worked at night then started the day off with a swim in Cordova Bay which is about 2 minutes from my work. Very refreshing. Then I came home and Kathleen and I enjoyed a relaxing morning together. Veda is on Hornby Island so we had a whole morning to ourselves. It was a wonderful time of smiles and connection.

I was then off to deliver the FOOD NOT BOMBS Kitchen pots and pans to the place we Were cooking the meal today.

I came home and did some serious sleeping then I went out for a long walk with Kathleen. It was fun because we decided to make it a silent walk which was fun because if one wanted to communicate anything it was by gestures. :)

Then I headed off to do Food Not Bombs to help finish peeping the meal then taking it to be served.

It is amazing that for over 20 years FNB Victoria has been serving VEGAN food once a week. Now our veggies are all organic thanks to Madrona Fran's and Share Organics and their weekly donations.

I am enjoying this weekly volunteering and the people I meet. Providing a hot meal to a varied group of neat people who eat and share together.

Then I can home and Kathleen and I prepared an awesome Thai curry stir fry with fresh organic Kale and collards from our garden. So fresh and yummy.

Then Kathleen and I played cribbage and listen to cool80's music we even danced to Joy Division :) it was another awesome day.

I am feeling energized and refreshed. Tomorrow perhaps I will talk more about al the neat healthy things I have been doing.

Veda is arriving home soon from Hornby. Veda is growing into an amaZing young woman.

She is drawing a lot of pen and ink art these days spending hours at her new art table and it is manga inspired.

Veda and I have been really inspired by this WITH THE LIGHT SERIES about a young boy with autism and how his family in Japan learns to live and get the support they need and create more understanding among the public.
