saturday July 1, day 44,
While four is a real unlucky number for the Chinese, 8 is an auspicious one. Is today, day 44 a day of double bad luck or is it an auspicious day (4 + 4 = 8)?
Personally I don't much care--I've managed to sleep most of the day away and look foward to getting back to bed.
There was the brief visit to the site to tidy and visualize an absence of chaos and a preponderance of well-ordered victories in the coming weeks (and weeks.)
As you can see, wall B has lighened, to a kind of Burberry plaid color scheme, while wall A has retained a more red hue. Wall B is probably the most unsettling to our neighbours in terms of artistry. Fear not, gentle Canadians, we thought we'd get a little wacky on the back wall, the North and East walls are all about The Pastel! We have two more walls with grey cement left to build and then we're off the heady, luxurioius world of white cement!
Wall B has some interesting insets ; agate and calcite.
Wall B also has a wall sconce. It is difficult to get those things rammed in place properly. The last thing you want to do is compact the box out of shape, but then again, you also want to avoid inadequate compaction. Though as mentioned earlier, it makes little difference--not only will the house still be warm, but bedtime is just moments away. We will cover that yucky part with the light fixture.
