Art for Arts Sake...Money for God's sake

Today I wake feeling a bit sore from yesterdays efforts. I ran the first ever Bexhill Half Marathon which would have been lovely on a summers day but given the rain and appalling wind felt like running the wrong way in a wind tunnel. It is all good preparation for the big one on December 14th the 26 miles of which I have ludicrously agreed to run to raise funding for the St Thomas's childrens surgical unit where Jacob had his heart operation. I creep into work to catch up with a Fran who has just returned from travels in China. Thereafter it is a whole succession of meetings and then some preparation for a big members meeting of the Arts Forum in the evening at which I have agreed to act as their independant chair. They face some financial challenges and the Committee needed to bring their membership up to date with their plans. We have been adivsing together with a business coach who is helping them cut coat according to cloth as it were. As ever artistic people find creative ways of raising money and an auction and fundraising event are planned. The committee, on realising the extent of the problem have worked tirelessly to get on top of it and I wish them success with this little video.

When the refrigerator turns off, the air from the freezer can transfer to the bottom of the refrigerator causing very cold temperatures and freezing the vegetables and fruits stored in the crisper. My own personal preference is to use a nut milk bag and a tall jug as the bag sits nicely around the top of the jug making it much easier to pour the milk into. Even if you don't yet own a VitaMix blender, it's worth browsing through their recipe database so you can get an idea of the huge variety of foods you can make with a VitaMix and just how easy they are to prepare. This could be due to improper functioning of the thermostat controller or because the unit is cooling the air to lowest possible temperatures. Be sure any cleaners and cloths used are not abrasive to avoid scratching any walls or interior components.
