Ok, 3 hours (DVD 1 of FotR with director commentry, and ABC news), ~50cm of interlocked seam done by hand (2 needles going concurrently, 1 awl). And a sore neck.
This leaves 2m of that seam to go ie ~12 hours work at that rate, spread over the next 2 days so as to not bugger the neck.
Then there are 2 more seams of the same length and style.
Conclusion: I am not that stupid.
We do the remaining seams same style as we did the ones of the Viking A-Frame, but this can't be done til Z gets back. Then it will be the roof seam, the hem and eyelets for pegging down. That's all...
So, do I finish the other 2m or unpick what I have done?
In the mean time, time to play with lamps while watching TV instead.
And dinner smells ready.
Edit: dinner smelt overdone - luckily toast, not pork.
Things of note:
Smoke detector in the hallway failed miserably - just as well from an I can't reach it to stop it point of view, but not good from a saving lives point of view. Probably battery as I could see the smoke swirling around it.
I didn't know you could get toast to glow red.
Ventilating house now - will the mozzies be kept out by the smoke or what?
Lets try for a less eventful rest of the evening.
