My attempts to strip the 20-year-old gloss paint from the doorways to the bathroom/loo/laundry have failed miserably. I am going to have to replace the wood. It was bulky anyway, all bits and pieces.

Just went and looked at the post. The horror illo is one of Gunny's I have not seen before. I must order the CD, after pay day in a couple of days.

It's hot too. Is it worth trying to get casual work at a Uni or public library? You could send them your resume. Might be nights or weekends, but perhaps?

The library jobs that have been advertised all seem to be evenings and weekends. I am just being lazy in not sending my resume to places. The heat does make me tired.

Bunnings don't know what they are missing. Bastards.
