Bushwalk Australia

So what are you all doing around the house?
Me not much but in the shed I have been busy. But it seems to me that the more I try and tidy up the worse the mess is becoming.
This week I have made 2 work benches, one for sewing and soldering and the other for banging stuff on. Next project is moving some storage shelves around and then a small solid table

I’m learning celestial navigation from online videos and classes.

Next step is to get a sextant however they’re nearly $1500 for a new, metal one!

Cool project, especially if you ever travel above the Arctic Circle

I'm staying at mums, hopefully not for months! The outdoors is looking pretty tidy with some pressure cleaning and pruning, a bit of turf repair.

Latest idea is to turn a UL puffy upside down and make it into a bum wrap, or skirt. Existing hand pockets not perfectly placed although would probably put hands in jacket pockets. Have spare squeeze clips so could add on a waist cinch that would also save the zipper from popping if I sat down wearing it.

I've got boxes of family photos dating back to the early 1900s that I've been wanting to digitize. Seeing as the company I work for is forcing us to take a weeks holiday during the lockdown, it sounds like a plan.

Garden is already looking a lot tidier already so more gardening and a winter crop.

Like everything else, the more one practices, the better one gets. Northern Tasmania beaches are ideal places to develop the skill of using a marine sextant because the sun is always to your north and you get a good horizon. Have fun when you get your sextant.

Wow I just had a google shopping look at the real thing but did find this on eBay

Moondog, great benches! Many likes.

I made some gowns for work to keep the CV19 patients from infecting my clothes next week, and bought a mulcher/chipper for the garden, which will allow all my pruning material to be reused, rather than taken to the miserable prick at the tip, at $X per load.

It’s actually really lovely seeing projects potentially coming to fruition. My wife is a primary teacher, and now is on holidays, maybe longer term, but, she has (at last) seemed to have taken on board a degree of self sufficiency - we’ll see.

I’m hoping my family will become a huge amount more self reliant over the ensuing months.
