Weekend...

the_eggwhiteJust a short "What I did at the weekend" update, written bit-by-bit between various bits of work.
Saturday (AM) - Theatre stuff. I spend the morning converting more floodlights into useful things. Not as many as I'd have liked to do, because it turns out that two of the ones I was going to convert are actually different to the others. Which means I need to work out another way to tweak those ones, or find two more that are like the others. So I'll be going to rehearsal on Tuesday to rummage around in the lighting cupboard and look above the stage to see what I can find.
Saturday (PM) - First up, I bought a couple of new tools. My toolbox, being already too full, was not going to contain these new items, so I also bought a bigger toolbox. Irritatingly, I had no luck at all in purchasing a tap & die set. Homebase don't stock them, apparently. Halfords (which I wouldn't normally even look at, but they're next door to homebase) had one, but it was locked in a cabinet they'd lost the key to... I've ended up ordering one online. After that lot, I went and fetched an![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
izzy_stradlin and took her out for lunch.
We then spent a bit of time moving a few bits & bobs off the shelves in her room and up into the loft... freeing up some shelf space for her to use. I then left her to catch up on sleep a bit before she went out in the evening.
I spent a chunk of the evening watching the first three episodes of The Wire withthankyoukindly - it's kind of cool, but was a bit of a slow starter. Now it's got going, it's pretty compelling. Even if the team is largely composed of liabilities.
Sunday (AM) - Theatre stuff again. This time I was mainly painting flats and mixing paints for use on a backdrop. I astounded others with my prowess at mixing vile green and a nice royal purple... and my ability to not get myself covered in paint. I did end up with a bit of paint on my boots, alas, but nothing that won't come off with a firm brush. I need new boots anyway, so I'm not overly bothered. Still, the set stuff is coming along in a reasonable way. Now that I know what the backdrops are going to look like, I may need to change some of the lighting rig a bit, but nothing particularly drastic.
Sunday (PM) - Watching TV and relaxing. I was too tired to do a great deal, so I sat down and watched some Eureka, a bit of Charlie Jade. I'm not sure if I like the latter enough to stick with it, but that might just be because it's kind of impenetrable right now... If they start actually going somewhere with it then it might well manage to get me hooked as it's an interesting enough idea. I think.
Later on, I watched more of The Wire, and the liabilities seem to be slowly either redeeming themselves or writing themselves out.
