basal_surge :) Back to a 5 year gap...
Ideas for parties/occasions that really should get off the ground in the next 5 years:
Steampunk.
Moulin Rouge.
Regency era dance picnic.
Will trade oilskin for gardening... A meter an hour? Maybe 2 meters.
Shiny white gravel paths are really annoying and I am apparently allowed to kick Z in the bollocks if he ever suggests getting one.
We both hate gardening and having actively avoided going it for much of the year, and hence are paying for it now. Apparently it was a bumper clover crop which would have retailed well. Pity it was two postage stamp sized areas.
Z has now finished two more chests. Plans are to linseed oil them (and one other) before packing. Hopefully Customs will be more happy with treated wood chests. And they will look prettier.
Have to take the books off the bookcase before it can be dismantled to make boxes/chest to move books in. Soon there will be piles. Then there will be sorting based on size, swearing over fitting in boxes and a mild feeling of deja vu for having done this a little over a year ago.
Just finished a good book by Sean McMullen* (Aussie SF author and medievalist). What more could you want than dueling librarians, wind and pedal powered trains, computers made of rooms of people with abaci, all set across a post apocalypse dustland that you drove through to get to Festival... The problem - don't have the sequel and it does end on a cliffhanger. What Z does have is two books of the other series by him set in the same world... books 2 and 3.
I have a Z leaning over with his chin resting on my head and pointing out spelling mistakes...
* "Voices in the Light". Small aussie publisher so may be entertaining to get the sequel.
