rain, hazel, stone paint and H G Wells, the first man in the moon,

yesterday was sunny

 The Ghost writer kindly did a last minute mad dash to get a tin of the stone effect paint for the plinth of the Cultural Olympian today. It was the last tin as it happens, so it better be enough to finish the job. Then after he dropped it off so he could continue his intrepid journeys and I was thinking OK right lets finish this thing off, when it started to rain some serious rain. Im OK with rain but a sculpture made of cardboard is not.  I can’t use spray paint in the house I am banned after accidently spraying the vicar red, it might have been OK if the dog had not sneaked a pair of horns on his head and a pointy tail on him.

Anyway I have now managed to spray the plinth in the garage workshop and spoken to the man that matters and everything will start to fall into place tomorrow. There are many things that are happening tomorrow so it might turn into one of the very very very rare occasions where I an unable to do a daily diary entry, but you can never tell.

To tell the truth I am not entirely sure if this omission will be noticed anyway, so we will see. It does not help that I have single handed been pulling a huge heavy canvas tarpaulin over my improvised hazel structure in torrential rain and high winds. It was decided by the dog that this was the work of an IDIOT as only an IDIOT would try and make something that is not needed when it comes to the nitty gritty, in torrential rain particularly as I can not be sure that the wind and rain will not destroy it before I get the chance to finish it at the weekend.  Dad says he thinks I should have built a steam powered dome based design based on H G Wells, the first man in the moon, not easy to do using Hazel and canvas.
