A better day...

Let me start out with a few new pics.

I do believe this is yet another church, this time at Thomas Street

And the complete opposite:Belle in this case is not a spelling error but must have to do with the supposedly cute girls in this part of town
But what did I really DO today?
Well, of course I went to work and started reading around the whole Nursery subject and Seed Certifying Business.It is about as thrilling as it sounds.
What I found interesting, though, and it should not have come as a surprise because of globalization, the US have the same criteria for seed classifications as we have.
In the sense of source identified, source selected and qualified. Listed in degrading order. I hope, I made no mistakes here, because I'm semi quoting from memory.
I also found out about groups planting trees in Ireland, after you "donated" some money. OR, even better, you buy from them and 5 Euros go to the Charity of a children's hospital. If that's not using people's soft side, I really don't know. Clever as it is, I find it also slightly disturbing, how ruthless people could be. It almost falls into the same category of begging with open sores which are kept open to keep the beggar's market value.
But maybe I'm just hypersensitive.
One of the directors really is pushing the nursery issue. He sees it, which is right, as a source to finance the NGO. Unfortunately, I still don't think it's all THAT simple. They want quick results which I cannot deliver.
But since I am getting educated about the whole certification process, I could show ways to get it done right and on the way generate some income via the donations thingy.
Which is taking me back to were I started, 2 weeks ago, with creating a donation's box. Funny, how the thing went a full 360.
Oh, also, friday, I will leave for a three-day-trip to the north, or The Province.
