Cold and wet!?!
Mar. 22nd, 2005 01:04 pmDammit, it is not supposed to be cold and wet. This is Canberra - it was 33 degrees this time last week. Ok, so I don't object to not having temperatures like that again for a while, a more gradual transition would be nice. Besides, we have a tent to air - nasty waterproofing and solvents.
( So, the last two days: )
Currently at home taking a break from sewing - ~ 2 seams left on a tunic and belt loops and cuffs on a pair of trousers. It's pleasantly surprising to come back to a project and realize that you were further along on it than you thought. The tent door ties and sod cloths hems man be a bit of an issue - something to do tomorrow and Thurs on site.
One note. On Mon afternoon on the way out to site, we stopped at a car accident that had occurred a matter of minutes before we turned up. Zane joined (oddly enough a couple other Scadians heading back to Canberra from site) in helped out with petrol spill, traffic direction and first aid matters until the fire service, police and ambulance turned up. They were very quick, but needed to be. Two cars had clipped each other at the front and been sent flying. One spun (driver walked away, possibly whiplashed), the other rolled. That driver was conscious but had her feet crushed and trapped by the pedals and car. Not good. Zane came back with slight blood stains on his shirt.
Please drive carefully over Easter... To and from Festival, in NZ or where ever. Just be careful.
