And there is Wellington Freecycle.

I'll try and update this as I find good stuff/places and if anyone has good suggestions.

... and my hands still smell of turpentine, linseed, beeswax and lanolin...*

Sat: Z forged tent pegs and portable holes. I bleached wool (dye remover worked, nappisan didn't, wet dog smell still remains), sewed cloaks and did laundry. Potential new flatmate. Nice woodfire pizza in Queayanbeyan. Thai chicken is better than smoked salmon.

Sun: The looting gods/patron saint were with Z. Trash and Treasure yielded shavers**, 2 large sun-awnings never unrolled, a saddle (for R), mixing bowls, pyrex bowl, kitchen scales***. Revolve yielded banner poles, a chuffer door, wooden bowls, bits for a lantern and wooden dippers. AuzJunk got us 16 good tent pegs, poles and some spare rope.. and some springs which we have no use for, but for $5 for the bag with pegs etc, it was worth it. Then home, lunch, Baronial Monthly thing where a lack of forms meant no authorisation for Z (arranged for later), but did sell 4m wool to T, and 5 m wool to M (to be collected later) and 4 m to ? (already collected). Then we went home and waterproofed a tent****. It has taken over the clothesline, to the detriment of the load of washed sheets that is only now being hung out on racks - I would have washed sheets today... Dinner and talking to N on Skype. Doco on Roman and earlier seige weapons. Failed to finish the 4th cloak (tying knots knots knots knots), but as kept falling asleep in front of TV, not suprising.

Sleep now I think, otherwise the spelling error will get far more atricious...

* Tent waterproofing in case you wish to know.
** Spokeshaves according to the expert who had to correct the spelling twice. That may be a hint.
*** Apparently I missed 2 splitting wedges, a set of wood carving chisels, 8 brass spoons, and a little knife for reforging. And apparently some things were resisted too.
**** This involved spray bottles, a mix that looked a lot like orange juice but really didn't smell like it, and a lot of bending over and rubbing.

### Z would like his recipe recorded for posterity but he can do that in his own journal thank you and besides, at this time of night, you don't want to think what units things will be transformed to...

Really goodnight now.
