Day 250

first sunburn of the season today....was quite a nice one too.  every year, without fail, i get sunburnt early in the season where i hate to get burnt the most, on the chest!  sunburn = aging....not cool.  why have i not learnt that one needs to put block on from early in spring, particularly down in here in the south island, the sun is viscous.  at least i finally found a good sunblock last season that isn't too greasy or smelly, so i have no reason for excuses.
at least

Day 248

finally met up with my friend/hairdresser today, for a well overdue catch up.  i haven't seen her since we did the shoot for the competition she won....and that was months ago!  obviously i am very overdue for a haircut too.
i went over to her place and hung out with her and her son for lunch.  was a lovely relaxed arvo, which in amongst everything that is going on, was pretty damn nice!

Day 247

oh my, only a week until exhibition.  everything needs to be finished by friday, and surprisingly, i'm almost done.  up until today i was still struggling with how to hang my work.  framed?  unframed?  what size?  what paper?  arghhhhh, so many decisions!
well i got it sorted - yuss!!!!  and all my images basically finished.  i can pretty much relax now....oh cept i told andrew i would help him for the rest of the week - so i guess i will still be pretty busy!

Day 246

in my effort to fix the machine yesterday i managed to slip over with all the water everywhere.  it hurt!!  this is the result of that fall.  luckily there wasn't much to be done today except for sitting in front of a computer finishing off all my images for printing.  a week behind schedule, damn it.

Day 245

still feeling pretty gross today, and i had a heap of work to get thru.  the weather was good tho so i put a load of washing on first thing.  just as the machine was starting the rinse cycle it stopped going.....dang it.  we'd had this happen before, it was a hairpin stuck in outwater pipe.  so since we 'knew' what was wrong and how it was fixed last time, i decided to have a go myself.  actually wasn't that hard...just makes a lot of mess when the remaining water (having hand emptied the machine) sitting in the bottom of the barrel comes out.  problem this time - matches.  yes, well... an entire box of matches had gone thru the washing machine a few days previously.
so after sorting it, i started the machine again, got a few loads thru and it stopped again.   argh!  emptied it again....started it again, same thing.  so apparently there were a fair few matches in the box.....feck!
