Doug laid the fire that lasted well into the next morning’s light, safety first is his middle name (he survived Vietnam under cover so this was a breeze), Juan & Mon’s basil rat was a treat – the only folks who didn’t march in out of the dark were the Patterson family this year (they had their own effort on Sat July 5 2008). The messages were tied to the beast and they all went up into the heavens – good riddance we all said!

The first afternoon I stayed at Tunbridge with Juan, we walked out to the east and saw a double rainbow. The arc was so small I was just blown-away, I had never seen the sun pushing through so far down from the equator . . . I managed to capture this shot from the upstairs drawing window during our last visit. Below is the smaller blog image:
Two shots I’ve finally posted from recent Tasmanian trip + happy new financial year for 2008 Thursday, Jun 19 2008
Blogroll and urban archaeology 9:30 pm
. . . two & a half weeks back in the studio . . . terrific work in hand . . . full moon tonight – solstice two days away . . . Kate (and Robert Edwards) roll over accounts tomorrow + Dr Ben Panizza, the throat surgeon gave mal E a clear bill of health today, next visit in 6 months! & . . . it’s almost Happy New Financial year time! . . . so in the Northern hemisphere the ink is starting to thaw out, the penciled-in accounts are now starting to be inked in! Does everyone realise that the June start of the financial year started very early on in Europe and was actually weather driven?
The search for shards of the past continues at the old Tunbridge dump. Wednesday, Jun 18 2008

I’ve posted this picture of Ray & Pat returning with their bag full of pottery truffels, we will eventually do a pair of large jardiniere’s for the house with these shards. For the moment we are collecting what ever we find, everytime we dig and plant another tree we un-earth more old pieces of the past. So, they say never go into a new year with an old cracked piece of porcelain – it’s bad luck. They were real believers in times past . . . thats for sure.

the larger image is here – titty string
I wandered into Ray & Pat’s kitchen early in the morning, the plastic cord I had borrowed to secure a load was returned and left on the counter . . . overnight the end had flipped over and presented itself as above so I captured the shot immediately. It reminds me of another recent titty image shot by another (much younger) Brisbane professional photographer – Megan Cullen. Her blog is here.
The bench photo below shows the progress of the first 10 penny cuts, while I have no intentions of becoming a jeweller it was a great experience to start to feel the tool’s balance, the cutting power of the blade and the ‘pert & vert” to use a clock makers term – getting your cut perpendicular and vertical. Seriously, I’m away with it!

Unauthorised collage for ‘show & tell’ by mal E – talk entitled ‘bums on seats’
With true Picasso irreverence, that friend of GOMA, maverick designer and collector from Brisbane, Malcolm Enright is bringing in some of the stools he has collected over the past 40 years. Please note; they are all wooden, from local generic Australian milking stools, to highly decorated Highland New Guinea ones, personalised items from Oceania, Timor, Borneo, The Philippines, some utilitarian pieces from Japan and China.
