Apr. 8th, 2006 08:40 pmBathtub Bob has decided to become Kinky-sit-above-the-shower-watching-people Bob. And spends a lot of time lot of time cleaning his mandibles and leering slightly. As long as he doesn't become Filthy-rich-via-webcamera-footage Bob, it is survivable. You do tend to look up a bit more to check if he has moved...
Morning: YMCA garage sale. The theme for looting today was canvas cf last time - inkle looms. Lots of several metre square pieces which will do for tent floors over groundsheets and/or alternate tent doors (Z's idea/project). Also birch bark bowls/cups and general wooden bowls. After a brief hissy fit at bad spelling and computers, calming down and talking people and navigation around Queanbeyan, a tent ridgebeam was found.
Afternoon: Off to Site, via Charnwood and a generator pickup. Definite weedwhacker issues (it ran out of/ate the string), digging pipe channels, putting up tent, swearing while marking and pinning doors (bloody wind), taking down tent. The usual stopping and talking to people as the number of people increases and you get to say hello to the people you saw last Festival. Seems odd to see the place filling up with tents compared to the peace and quiet of previous site preps. Then by Festival it looks right, and by take down, the lack of tents looks odd.
Edit: We also confirmed that the shower does drain reasonably with all the water going into the sump. Yay! There is however a recommended uphill corner with respect to the water running past your feet. But hot showers...:)
I will note that the books I tend towards when stressed/busy tend towards the definite popcorn bodice ripper fluff compared to the more usual fare (see authors in LJ interests list). Picked up a bunch of such works under 50c to a dollar each. Sandra Brown, Johanna Lindsey, Christine Skye, Catherine Coulter, Kathleen Woodwiss etc. A better class of fluff than some, but still definitely fluff. The Umberto Eco in the pack was just not being touched..
