Looking at the bliaut stuff I have and thinking - embroidered keyhole neck piece, sleeves and arm bands. Nice coarse wool, split stitch or stem stitch, nothing too detailed and finicky - a nice contrast to the blackwork sampler handkerchief. Need to track down 12th C french embroidery moteifs. Last three projects for me were utilitarian (white linen undertunic, blue linen tunic) and experimental with a more practical bent (bone needle sewn wool tunic - from CF, good as a throw on extra layer), so allowed to go pretty again. Not a Festival deadline, just a sanity project.

There is also the trousers for Z. Should be straight forward, as long as I remember to make various bits looser. Festival deadline there.

Just as well then that I finally got around to signing up with the local DVD rental place. Oddly, it wasn't the range of foreign films and drama tat decided, but the large range of stuff from TV - that and they do $1 per weekly dvd Thursdays. So, I have half of season 1 of "The West Wing" (Z will run in horror) to see, and Neverwhere to rewatch. Only with sewing in hand though. And may or may not try a binge on Buffy or Angel depending on my patience. They also have some Farscape, so may finally get around to seeing the final episode.

And speaking of Festival, looks like from next year it is relocating. Logistics of stuff may get interesting... And the lists are hotting up... Just out of Sydney, which will make storage of stuff currently in Canberra entertaining - and means we need to sort stuff and decide what to do with it by Festival this year. Will be interesting to find out the Bruceability of the new site...

How are people reacting to the site change?

Usual variety, at least from the Lochac list and some LJ posts. Crossroads had its advantage (location, ability to build stuff) and disadvantages (dust, lack of rain, variability of fire ban, lack of infrastructure*). Yet to find out what these are for the new site... Could be pleasantly suprised (like the new CF site) or...

* advantage or disadvantage depending on who you talk to, but permanent toilets are kind of nice.

Any word on where the new site will be? I'm not suprised they are moving it as they still haven't even built a toilet block out at the Crossroads site, and that should have been the first thing built. Nevermind.

Glenworth Valley. Actually green... Sounds more like the current CF site in terms of facilities. Will be interesting to see what they allow...

Reportedly http://www.glenworth.com.au/ -- searching for Glenworth Valley on Google Earth will get you a decent view of the area.

I anticipate a very low Bruceability. Pity.
