Dark MOFO.    Hobart is in it's grips!   This is not a revolution or uprising,  nor is it a racist rant.   It is  a Arts festival celebrating the winter solstice.    lots of lights and music .   Large scale public art.   The opening was marked by turning on a bloody great big light,    apparently it is the intellectual property of the artist  Ryoji Ikeda.   


Its called 'beam in thine own eyes'   The picture does not do it justice.   on a clear night the beam of light is supposed to go 15km up.   It probably does,   we can see the light from our place in Kettering which is 30 ks from Hobart.    
I wonder what MOFO actually stands for ?

Went to Bruny Island last weekend.   had a good day.    Went down to Cape Bruny to see the light House.   Its in the South Bruny National Park.   An interesting fact that is not on the national parks website is that there is an entry permit scheme,   which involves  putting $24 dollars in an envelope and posting it in the box.   I personally thought it was abit steep for a half hour visit.   They clearly don't spend the money on the road. 

I haven't had my stuff together the last few days.   I know this because on Saturday I bought some boots and left my visa card in the store.  I discovered this when I went to pay for lunch and realised I didn't have it.   I  went back to the workwear shop but this being a Saturday in Hobart the bloody shop shut at twelve.    Today I had to go into town (Hobart) to get it.   Uneventful trip apart from stopping to get petrol on the way.    I was surprised and somewhat embarrassed  to discover that they have a 'unable to pay account' form that I needed to fill in along with a promise to come back and  pay the account today.

Spent some time this afternoon putting together a hot house.

 

The instructions were a bit hard to follow and I managed to break 2 of the pieces. 

It's only tiny and I have to duck to get through the door.   I hope to grow some seedlings for the vegie garden.   It remains to be seen if the wild life will allow me to do this..
