It was a bit less hot today so I was able to do some more work. I got five of the six chairs finished. The work was interrupted every half hour or so for a cold drink and a spell in front of the fan because it got pretty hot in the afternoon. They do look quite a bit better now (see the before and after photos below.
I found some energy and finished the last dining chair. I also levelled the stove because I had noticed that the frying pans were not uniformly covered in oil. I arranged for the Samins to baby sit Jean's tomato plants while we are away.
We spent the rest of the day preparing for our trip to Sydney.
