Ok, secend tent has all the machine sewing done, with only door ties and peg down points to go. This means that the big Tent Load can be done. Wheeeeee..... Time to load the last tent...
Fingers crossed this is the first of 3 main loads: tent load, chest (clothing and tool) and mattress load, wool and leather and last day essentials.
It is easy getting stuff out there, it is remembering you only have a day to get stuff back... The perils of living close...

Hope alpha_angel had a good trip over and is having fun wandering Sydney...

At 12:30am, we have finished the last major machine seams on the roof of the second tent. Yay to that. Pinning went well with B5 episodes... I am carefully avoiding starting the next episode, given Anne Sheridan just entered the room: too much to do tommorrow.

And after the SBS Friday night doco, I am very happy I do not live in Texas. I wonder how some of the astronomers cope in that sort of stultifying coservative place, althogh admittedly the main observatory and Uni group are based in Austin. Sex education is rather useful and abstinence only programs really don't work well... and very definitely do not have safety nets built in. There is the little bit of me which is curious to know how some of them would handle the civil union concept but I suspect I am just to burn in Hell for all eternity. At least I will be in good company.

Hmph... On and off headache since Fri evening. May be hormone related. Restart of hormone pills - in case of later reference.

Big sleep in today (noon), after cocktails and Scrubs episodes til 2am...

Tent rope making this afternoon. 2 ropes done so far, one more to be done out of the yellow jute macrame cord. Also got around to washing fabric for later use. Need a better system than feel for being about to tell if it has been washed before. We have a lot of wool. There are discussions as to whether or not to sell some of it at Festival. Moving it to WA would be less than pleasant, but there is so much we could get around to doing with it...

In the mean time, getting rid of scratchy black linen by making more cushions and using the rest to work out hose patterns... alpha_angel, the "The Medieval Tailor's Assistant" hose pattern appears directly based off the Bocksten Man's hose (well, one of the pairs from Marc Carlson's website). Want to play with them this evening, but fireworks have won over over "The Constant Gardener" (although we both really want to see it some time, it will probably be ok on DVD).

Time to get Z to put some clothes on, pick up Pide, and head off to fireworks. Would be bad to vary the order in that...
