The Waffling Wombat

I took my complete drawing board setup when I retired! No-one knew how to use one! 

[Rick Lowe]

That and stationary I knew no one else would be using 

If it's from before the latest rebranding, it'll only get binned otherwise, anyway.
Pads for making notes are always useful.

Know that one.. I worked for QANTAS and when the shiny bottoms in Marketing decided we needed a new branding , that made lots of stationary type stuff and signage totally useless as part of the edict was.. no old images in the public space. Ever seen boxes and boxes of old school boarding passes and Airport checkin desk signage go into a skip ? Took a couple of those to for marketing to then decide maybe we need blank boarding card stock and print our own images.. Genius !!  

Womby... the floor done yet. To quote John Mellion.. are those freeloaders walking on it yet ?

Not yet, BT, thanks for asking! 

The weather has been slowing things down (way wet & windy for the last few days) but I did get the first top coat down this morning, should have it finished by dinner tonight.

Sweet. 

And Buzzy - yes, I was helping with the binning when one Aussie bank took over, another here...
If I'd thought quicker, I could have scored a whole lot of notepads and ring-binders... as it was, there were loads of wheelibins going to destruction...

I was issued 1,000 new business cards the month before I retired. Everyone knew I was going for at least 6 months beforehand, but I had to have new ones with our updated logo    I'm still using those and the old ones I had left to make kitchen notes on 18 years afterwards

Sweet. 

And "Done!" 

Wife's immunotherapy tomorrow, then I'll have to organise the materials for the walls & ceiling over the weekend (which is predicted to be WET) ..... & the skip-bin! ..... for a start on Monday.

[NARSES2]

All the best for the better half tomorrow

Actually, here, it was today. 

She's feeling like there's a war going on inside her, but that's normal for a day or two after.

[Rick Lowe]

Hoping she comes right and things settle down quickly.

She will, mate! 

As I said, this is business as usual post-therapy. She should be pretty right by tomorrow afternoon.

I'm still busy working on the shed. It's dragging its arse because I'm doing a two-man job with one, broken, old man (me) ... So everything's been taking five times longer than it should. 
Been hit in the head twice in the last two days by 12mm plywood panels I'm using for the ceiling ... At least it's not the 19mm panels I'm using for the walls! 

Well, an evening of checking out the site, maybe some gaming & an early night, I think, are in order!

Hard hat ?   

[Rick Lowe]

Be careful with that, please - my friend at the library has just had his 3rd or 4th concussion in the last 18 - 24 months...    (or not...)

[Old Wombat]

Hard hat ?   

Meh! Who needs a hard hat when one has a hard head? 

Be careful with that, please - my friend at the library has just had his 3rd or 4th concussion in the last 18 - 24 months...    (or not...)

See the above. 

Actually, I have more injuries to my hands (a couple of minor gouges) than to my head, as my hands were already above me & deflected the panels from making full contact. Battle Scars!
