It was a twelve hour night shift too with everyone wanting to buy a house and playing cards half the night in a deadly game called manila. But anyway I just mention all that because some may be interested; the point is I had the idea wrapping cloth around your bare feet was a foreign idea because they seemed to do it quite naturally, and was very surprised to see it done exactly the same way on your video. I was startled to tell the truth; nostalgia is connected to things which seemed small at the time.<BR/><BR/>-Robert.<BR/>On topic.R.H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04639593801088008224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632542.post-37053598285120194022008-01-21T17:29:00.000+11:002008-01-21T17:29:00.000+11:00How interesting, I worked in a dye house for three...How interesting, I worked in a dye house for three years: chemical steam and wet concrete floor. Lovely. Prior to each shift we'd tear a strip from cheap cheese-cloth type material and wind it around our feet before putting on gumboots, it saved rotting our socks. <BR/><BR/>And golly, how wonderful is blogging to gather such diverse classes of people! <BR/><BR/>You can blame Miss Brownie for this one.R.H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04639593801088008224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632542.post-85554967012739459742008-01-17T15:10:00.000+11:002008-01-17T15:10:00.000+11:00Thanks for introducing me to the joy of Historic H...Thanks for introducing me to the joy of Historic Houses UTube - I had no idea.

How lovely, the whole package. All that and a dorm at Frensham? too good.<BR/><BR/>It is going to be my new years resolution to actually resolve this idea of mine for a graphic novel/art book.<BR/><BR/>Dont you find the summer heat counter productive though? I cant paint in this heat and find my head is all sloppy and lazy. Never get much done this time of year. Perhaps I should do summer school.
