Today was the day building was meant to start

... but we are still in limbo.

Met with Liam in the Wooden Sppon in Killaloe yesterday for capuccinos, raspberry scones, carrot cake and what to do next. Decided the best tack would be to talk to the councillor and planner.

Back in the ecovillage, started weeding the bed near the Welcome Centre. Te couch grass is vicious, smothering the blackcurrant bushes. Hard weeding for a couple of hours cleared just a couple of square metres. It's a good spot for chatting with passers by.

Wound up the Easter weekend with the first community street party of the year.

Rodney spoke to the councillor and will again next week to arrange a meeting with the planner. It seems the planner likes to meet applicants in person.
