Guess where I am?

And just like that the universe* provides - we have an indefinite loan vehicle with space & even bum warmers - and a new workshop cheaper & twice the space! So somehow need to fit in moving around finishing Lady E…. (* K’s family)

four years ago, I shared this @crowbar.wtf tweet with friends on facebook, and now it has returned.

It continues….

I wasn’t at the workshop today - had a day to play catch up on other things. Apparently some of the wall was ripped out this morning when a sparky mate replaced the light switches so I have more filling, sanding & painting to look forward to.

“The only thing everyone seems to agree on about Albo’s new Hate Bill is that everyone hates it… Personally, I’m looking forward to the inevitable Chernobyl at Holt Street, when Rupert’s top editorial warlocks realise they’re legally adjacent to the neo-Nazis of the National Socialist Network.”

Quite a thoughtful piece www.jackieschuld.com/post/7-reaso...

Have a lovely day people x

Ok took the bench tops from raw to stained and might be knock off time?

Second pass - already improvement.

My World of Hurt™️ has begun.

We are booked in for handmade tile making classes in 2 months time 😅😅

Our final piece to source is a wall light to replace the crap bare light bulb at the end of the van. My vote is for this Gorilla light but K says no 😢

Ah the tile dilemma - when you choose interesting paint colours then matching in the tiles for the kitchen area are a pain in the arse. We’ve searched for ages - nada. So a pivot - we minimize the tile real estate with a row of narrow white subway tiles (this test tile is

Morning campers! Shits all a bit fucked isn’t it? Started an Insta account for VanDolls - yes it’s in the 3rd person, no I don’t think it’s from dissociation or silicone abuse trauma - just began that way & I’m rolling with it. You might be amused? www.instagram.com/vandollsmelb...

Alrighty - we are the VanDolls!

Got cranky struggling with it, found bracket fixed toilet door instead.

Thinking about starting an OnlyFans (OnlyVans?) so I can buy a DeWalt Router instead of this temperamental bitch Fakita I’ve borrowed off a mate.

A whole bunch of artists and cultural workers have lost work because of the implosion of Adelaide Writers week — writers, producers, stage crew, front of house. None of this was their fault. Something for the Labor premier to think about

More than a coincidence.

How they killed Writers Week:

Want to make a submission into the inquiry on the "Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill that was released yesterday? You got till 4pm Thursday (ie TOMORROW) That is quite disgraceful www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...

Unusually PP & I are having a creative block trying to come up with a name for our caravan reno business. Any inspo to share?

If you’ve been wondering where I get my Kick Arse™️ from I should inform you that the petite lady next to me on the right once killed a large brown snake with just a size 7 boot that had gotten inside & threatened her dogs.

Let the frippery begin! We’ve started to attach the trim and mouldings. #caravanrenovation #LadyE

Some routing trickery and voilà - modern blends into antique. Next up - staining the bench top in Black Japan. #caravanrenovation #LadyE

When I’m out the front enduring enforced gardening the highlight is meeting all the neighbourhood dogs. Bittersweet today. Met a small bear sized pooch called Alfie. He was very reluctant to say goodbye. His human had to make some effort. Made me smile.

Seems I’ve lost judgement of my own strength - managed to rip the sliding toilet door off one of its slidey bits. Another thing to add to tomorrow’s To Do list is fix it 🙄

Woulda. Shoulda. Coulda. JUST DO.

Working out what finish I want to router on the edges of the bench tops to soften them - seems beaded round over on top and just a round over on bottom is the winner. #caravanrenovation #LadyE

I write about the Adelaide Writers' Week debacle for @theshot.net.au. theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

we have reached the man tears stage of the political fuck up cycle. In my observation, man politicians only cry for themselves, which would suggest he is getting factional pressure. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

The Hot Potato of Ambassadorial Appointments

Received this incredibly thoughtful gift today and the delivery guy was amused to be handing it over to a woman named “Crowbar” who was holding a dangerous gardening implement. Thank you 💕

I'm just surprised no one got shot for this brutal dual attack on a federal agent by (checks notes) inertia and gravity.

Surprising how many people wish you good morning and walk very quickly past when you are holding a rotating blade.

Their TEMU Gestapo is so cringe
