Preparing for tourists

It rained and rained last night - it woke me up a couple of times in the night as the roof is tin. The ground looks like red muddy soup today which doesn’t bode too well for the tourists coming over tomorrow.

They have a few exhibitions coming up at the moment - the Darwin art fair and desert mob which is an art fair in Darwin which also has a market place which we are sorting out all the smaller pieces here.

Amy is one of the locals on the payroll that comes in and helps out. I showed her how to stretch a canvas and we did a few and then she disappeared. Maybe she will come back after lunch.

Much less stressful here than at my old job at emergent. Phone only rings a couple of times in the hour rather than 30 times.

I'm not missing alcohol as much as I thought that i would - while the community can go outside of ikunji to alice springs etc to get booze /d it seems the overall response of the community is that they don’t want alcohol here as it causes too many problems. They have a primary school here but they are on holidays (1 month holidays in NT) and they also have a pre school .
