Today I put the finishing touches on the house paint job which began back in December! Unfortunatly by the time I had finished the clean up it was to dark to take any pictures. Tommorrow morning I will take some pictures and post a full set of before-and-after shots. The final colour scheme was gun-metal grey for the main colour, and field of wheat around the windows and doors. Looks dam good too, even if I do say so myself. Tune in tommorrow to judge for yourself.
In other news, I took delivery of a second-hand 8.5 meter c-quad kite this afternoon. I bought it on trademe.co.nz for a rediculously low price of $150 last week. It'll be great on those light wind days for the buggy, and might even get me into kite-surfing next summer. I thought I was buying just the kite, but was delighted to find it had its own set of lines, handles, and backstrap, which saves me swapping them from my other kites.
Now that the painting is done I'll be able to get out and use it for the remainder of my holiday (till next week)!
