I am talking about brain work, rather than physical work, although there is a lot of that involved too. I am trying my very hardest to learn my Masonic Obligation off by heart before my next Lodge, and its a long piece of text, with many pieces in old styled English which makes it quite difficult to understand. Needless to say its going slowly, and I have only learned by heart about half of it so far...Also I can only do this when I am alone as I repeate it out loud, and no non Mason is allowed to hear it!!...I have even been learning it in the bath, whispered to myself, its like I am obsessed!!! LOL!!! Secondly I have to make money for my trip to Vienna (which is very difficult with the economy at the moment) and although I have made a little, its not nearly enough, as to what I need!! My Ebay sales are slower than a snail on acid!! and even if I do sell somthing, there is lots of last minuite bidding going on...At the moment I have listed a stained glass goblet that I paineted myself!!
its here!!!
Which took me about 4 days of hard work and the glass paints cost a fortune............and I have ONE WATCHER!!! is no one interested in hand painted art anymore??? or is my work just crap and I am kidding myself???? If it goes to the last day I may well remove it from the listing because I realy dont want to let it go for less than £15, becuase of all the hard work that I put into this 22cms high Goblet!!!
In other things I have had to part with some Troika which was heart breaking, and one of the vases I sold had a complaint about a hairline crack I had not noticed!!! So needless to say I have now had to get a new pair of glasses too!!!! (should have gone to speck savers) costing over £220!!! Also the power pack on my lappy packed up and that meant another £50 layout, which I cannot aford but is nessisairy!!!...oh and I have ran out of tea candles!!! tut tut!!!!
Well today I have to hand wash some delicate clothing that I need for certain upcoming events, then get on the pole for half an hour, and walk Sirius AND drum into my brain the next section of my Obligation...its all go here at ther moment, chaps and chapesses!!
