Cube of Truth: September 8 2018

in #actifit6 years ago (edited)

An early start to clear some office work and then the bus into the centre of Leicester. I went right to the bus depot which meant walking past the Clock Tower and all the campaigning and activist stalls. Animal Rights are always there and the Socialist Party and usually some Stop the War protesters. Today the Cube of Truth were out, "Anonymous for the Voiceless", the first time I had seen them.

Spent three hours (three hours!) in the hairdressers. They had a drama which distracted everyone, but at last my hair was done and I went round the shops before walking home over Victoria Park and down Queens Road with its little shopping centre.

Walking

Sort:  

I've been trying to be a little more active this week. I've not been taking the dog to the beach so much where I'd usually lob a ball around but instead we've been having a brisk walk around the block (about a mile and a half). I hope to start jogging the route this week when i can find my shorts.

I've also been taking a 40 minute walk during my lunch break. I've been trying to hit my 10k step count a little more often as i've been much less active since being back in work.

Yes, it can be much harder when you're working, and it can take a little while to get a routine when you've started a new job, but it sounds like you are doing well. Enjoying the job?

Oh, that was an interesting protest, @shanibeer ! You only have to see a lorry loaded with sheep on their way to the abattoir to question things ...

The video is from earlier in the year, and they were there again yesterday.

I didn't watch the whole video, but regarding the chickens, yeah. There are different levels that mean different things, and people don't generally know the difference. Of course, it's best if you can get them from a local homesteader type person like @lyndsaybowes, but if that's not possible, the terms (at least in the US) are:
cage free: less space per bird than battery cages, but all grouped together, always inside
free range: a mix of inside/outside, a bit more space
pasture raised: much more space, always outside except maybe in inclement weather
...and then of course, no label, is probably battery cages.

Pasture raised eggs cost upwards of $7/dozen most of the time, unless you catch a sale or something, here in Denver.

Similar here - although many variations on what free-range means. I tend to use the independent butcher in Queen's Road - you can go and see the chickens where they are reared. We also have a farmers' market once a month including Pick's Organic Farm. I love visiting that farm.
