A beautiful pathetic fallacy

The work day ended with a beautiful double rainbow. We're learning lots at Kindy (now that mum is the director), so I happen to know that occasionally, a second, dimmer, and thicker secondary rainbow is seen outside the primary bow. Secondary rainbows are caused by a double reflection of sunlight inside the raindrops, and appear at an angle of 50°–53°. As a result of the second reflection, the colours of a secondary rainbow are inverted compared to the primary bow, with blue on the outside and red on the inside. The dark area of unlit sky lying between the primary and secondary bows is called Alexander's band, after Alexander of Aphrodisias who first described it. There's probably a bit more to it than that but I'm only two.

Gyprock and cornice cement

Biggest gaps were filled today so that we can have a full day to top coat on thursday.

Just for the record

Here is a shot of the high cupboard on the south wall. Dad thought it important to record this before the gyprock covered it - just to show that the 1.8 metre gap is bridged by a very sturdy ex-table top that we found in a throw out AND which is supported by two lengths of 3 by 2 (70 x 45mm). So, we can happily stack it with stuff, sleep on it, party on it, and it should all stay fairly flat.

We have light!!!

Roy finished his work today - so we're connected to power.

The room is clad and the gyprocking is underway. We might even have a cupboard or two very soon. There was much debate over the question; to built-in or not to built, but a compromise has been reached. Stay tuned to see how we do a quick up-skill on cabinet-making.
