New black fabric over the dash. Out with the old.

That’s all I could find at the time – stiff car mats – which I put in when I installed the dashcam because it was affected by reflections. Those were cut and glued and looked atrocious but the view was infinitely better.

Today I booked the car in for a new windscreen, since I can’t really drive to Canberra with it as it is, or much anywhere, and it’s probably illegal.

So I called into Vinnies and at a total fluke I scored a soft blanket that’ll do the job brilliantly and is much nicer. I finished sewing the hem an hour ago. Later I’ll add the ventilator holes and sew them.

End of an era for the old stiff floor mats over which I’ve done a lot of critical looking, eye bleeds and all.

And before that I worked on all five paintings but got threatened with rain. It’s been horrible mongrel strong wind weather again today.

I’ve parked up the road from the obnoxious disruptive tent bloke, who’ll probably arrive within the hour.

Time to enjoy my own headspace until then.
