Paint fumes are not a nice highCategories: Life in progress
This week has been busy.
On Monday I continued the battle (started last week) with the MYOB/GST monster. That battle was not finished.
On Tuesday I sorted stone artefacts. Or rather, I started to learn to sort stone artefacts. I will be a bit better at it next Tuesday. I can almost identify quartzite with confidence. Stone artefacts are actually pretty interesting, for a bit of an intro this page on European stone artefacts is pretty good. Of course, I’m aware that you might not find them as interesting as I do. I hope to learn how to make stone artefacts in the near future.
On Wednesday I wrestled again with the MYOB/GST monster, and again the battle was not done. I will have to continue it over the weekend.
On Thursday and Friday (today) I helped a friend paint his workshop. I’m currently still high on paint fumes and I know a headache is not far away. I really can’t be bothered cooking, and I’m hanging out for a quick dinner at the markets, but a storm is brewing and the wind is so strong that I’m likely to fly in one direction and take forever in the other direction. I wonder which way its blowing? (Oh, it’s coming from the North? Well that will just blow me over coming and going.) And then I will come home and watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer while I still can, and then try to get the paint off in a nice long hot shower while I can still have them.
(Hmmm, a storm from the North? I should investigate that further….)
Tomorrow is Saturday, so that means garage-sailing with Grant and Dad. The rain overnight and tomorrow morning will put a bit of dampener on that, but its my last outing before I go, so I can’t cancel! Maybe the miracle that happened a few weeks ago will happen again, the one where Dad rings at 6am and says “bugger this its too cold and wet, dont come over till 8am”. Fingers crossed. I’ve spent the last few weeks of garage-sailing doing my best not to buy anything, but last week I found a very cute and ultimately irresistible red jumper for $2, and then subsequently discovered it was mohair! Bargain!
Sunday will be spent wrestling (hopefully for the final time) with the MYOB/GST monster, with lunch at the fabulous Zen House with a Japanese lady recently arrived in Adelaide in the middle of the day. Looking forward to Zen House, and to finishing with the monster.
But for now, if you are an Aussie, you should look at this before it gets taken down: Election 2010 spoof.
Only a few days left in my home, my world, and then its all gonna change…

If you end up with any burins in your artefact making, I’d like try using them.
Watched The Gruen Transfer tonight and missed you. <3
