This Sunday Warilla's Craig Burke will be taking on the Illawarra equivalent of the Coolangatta Gold to raise funds for The Man Walk and the Mental Health Movement. Mr Burke wanted to do something for mental health locally following the cancellation of the Coolangatta Gold, which in recent years has been dominated by former Warilla Barrack Point Ironman Ali Day. He kept up his training and starting at 6am on Sunday is planning to ski, board and swim a 40-kilometre course from Wollongong Harbour to Kiama Harbour. Read more: Kiama founded men's walk, talk and support group wins NSW Men's Health Award and goes national Mr Burke said he was motivated by his own personal experience with mental health and the number of young lives lost to suicide in the region in 2020. Particularly young men in the Kiama and Gerringong area. "I am doing this to promote awareness around mental health," he said. "I went through a bit of a black time several years ago. I got through with the help of my gorgeous wife Kirsty. And when I came out the other side thought I would try to promote that fact it is okay to talk about it. "It is really important to get people talking. Mark Burns from The Man Walk has been fantastic. What he started in Kiama is now going all around the world and that is awesome. When you are walking it seems easy to talk. It can be about the footy or anything but sometimes a bit of gold comes out of such a discussion when someone opens up a little bit." Mr Burke said the number of suicides of young men in Kiama and Gerringong this year had really hit home because they were his daughter Jordyn's age and she knew some of them. He said the Mental Health Movement founded by Dan Hunt was also doing great work within workplaces. Which is why he has created a gofundme page to raise funds for the The Man Walk and the Mental Health Movement. On Friday afternoon it had already raised more than $5000.

Local heroes stepping up to answer the call of their communities


I've got the bulk of the wood cleared from the stern accommodation. Now all that is left is to strip is the remainder of the ceiling.
I'll keep the smelly old decking until I've got the rest of the metal cleaned and insulated, as it provides a sturdy, safe, platform to work from.
I'm a little surprised at the volume of wood I've taken out, it's an exercise in itself just to clear the wood from the deck.
Here John (left) and Malcolm, a son and father-in-law team, 'supervise' the removal of the last of the wood off of my deck.
Both Malcolm and John are retired and have offered to help. I need all the help I can get, though I'm sure they have no idea what they have let themselves in for.
This weekend just gone was a holiday weekend here in the UK so, although a lot got done on Lady Jane, I also had a several friends drop by for a visit.
Here Pat puts my new workbench through rigourous and exhaustive testing.
No chance of any painting getting done then.
I blame the wonderful weather and the effects of lunch at the Castle In the Air for a distinct lack of progress yesterday.
Cleaning out what was the crew quarters, henceforth to be known as the stern accomodation, I finally decided to bin the doll. Said to represent St Jude - The patron saint of hopeless causes.
Yes Kate it really has gone, or will go when I dump the next load from the boat.
My thinking is that the boat is no longer called Jude and the damn doll has not been contributing to the project. Ok, so Lady Jane won't be welcome in Belgium without it - Pah I say.
Besides, I'm a grown man and don't play with dolls.
Here she is, Lady Jane or O 431 as she was known then.
This, and a link to a few other pictures was sent to me by Klaas Koornstra in the Netherlands. The link is to a Dutch shipping data website. Lady Jane's page is here: www.shipdata.nl (Scroll down for thumbnails of more pictures).
Klaas found my blog when searching for an Industrie engine for his boat. Of Lady Jane's Industrie engine Klaas says "this engine and brand is known as the best marine engine in the world in the 60ties and 70ties. Unfortunately they made their engines so well that, once they bought such an engine, owners sailed forever, without ordering a new one. This is the reason why the company went bankrupt in 1977."
Thanks Klaas. The new information is really appreciated. It also explains the green I find underneath the blue paint on the hull.
I've been down in Cornwall in a little place called Harlyn Sands, near Padstow, for a much needed break.
The picture shows part of the wonderful beach we spent most of our time at, which was a conveniently short walk from where we were staying.
We had brilliant weather and a really great time.
Normal posting will resume tomorrow.
There are often people fishing on Fareham Creek, by the golf course, opposite Lady Jane.
This guy must have been so engrossed in his fishing that he got caught out by the rising tide.
No danger, except to his pride and maybe his shoes, socks and jeans.
Mildred and her three cygnets came around for a visit, looking for food I'm sure. Later on I saw George with them as well, so all the muddy swans are just fine.
If you click on the picture and look closely, dib and dob were swimming around with one leg stuck out behind their backs. Presumably they are just too cool to use both legs for the trivial task of paddling about behind mum.
The muddy swans usually hang out by the slipway, across the way from Lady Jane. I suppose there are more people there with hand outs for them.
They still sleep on the platform in front of Lady Jane at night as George, who must have been on guard, surprised me with much loud hissing when I got back from the pub the other night.
Well that's it, the last of the rust has been stripped from Lady Jane's back deck.
I know it doesn't look so good at the moment, but this is a vast improvement on how things were.
This last section ended up being rustier than I originally thought, so took quite a bit of time to finish. I also spent some time on parts of the side walls, where practical.
Now all the crusty old rust has been removed from under the paint, I'll be able to clean up the metal with a wire brush attachment on my angle grinder, then give the deck a much needed coat of Rustroy before the rust takes hold again.
Before starting to paint I'll have to deal with the holes I've got on deck.
What can I say? It's been another lazy day on Lady Jane.
Here's Hazel, an old friend of mine, sitting on deck and soaking up the sun, after a pleasant lunch at the pub just down the road.
I will get down to some serious work soon - promise.
I took a break from working on Lady Jane, and visited the Odiham Fire Show, which is held annually around about this time.
The show featured fire engines from horse drawn cart times right through to the modern, high tech, fire engines of today. Really interesting and well worth a visit for anyone interested in stuff.
When I get the time I'll post more pictures into Flickr.
The picture shows a shack burning furiously while a fire crew prepares to tackle the blaze. To be honest I think the shack had pretty much burnt itself out before any serious water was sprayed on it.
I was told that the proper, local, fire brigade were standing by, just in case.
It was a really great day, probably greatly assisted by our proximity to the beer tent and hog roast.
UPDATE: ok, more Odiham fire show pictures have been uploaded.
If it's supposed to move and doesn't, use WD40. If it's not supposed to move and does, use duct tape. A quote from The Duct Tape Guys which I firmly endorse.
Surprisingly, it seems the guys have written seven books on the subject. It's a guy thing I know, but then where would we be without the stuff?
Here I've used duct tape to temporarily seal the holes I now have on my rear deck. An unfortunate by-product of rust busting sessions in the last few weeks. What happens is I make holes when cleaning away patches of rust which go right through the steel deck.
I reckon if it's good enough for NASA to use when repairing Discovery recently, it's good enough for Lady Jane.
These holes will need repairing before I can start priming and painting the back deck. That, in turn, will mean taking the ceiling panels out from the galley below so we can cut and weld safely. A pity really, as I'd hoped to keep the galley in a pretty good state of repair.
It seems I'm exposing problems faster than Robin can help me get them fixed, as work on repairing the bulkhead is still ongoing.
Good weather has meant I've made progress on the painting the rear deck project.
I've almost completely finished attacking the rust and loose paint with my air hammer. To be honest I was not expecting to get as much done, though by 5.00 the noise and vibration was starting to get to me so I opted to quit. I bet the neighbors were pleased as well.
A few more hours should see the final bits of the rear deck dealt with using the air hammer, and any odd bits that I've missed gone over again.
There is some welding that will need to be done before I can prep and prime the deck, but I'm hoping it will not be too much of an issue.
Progress on Lady Jane has been steady, but dull I'm afraid.
I have painted the workbench, using Hammerite. I must say I'm pleasantly surprised by how fast it dries. The whole bench has had two coats, a process I thought would take much longer than it did. Unusual for me that.
The painting has reminded me that I need to crack on and finish some of my other painting projects, if the weather will co-operate.
Once again my deck is strewn with wood, hacked from the aft accommodation space.
Once all the wood is out and has been taken away I can start of the job of attacking the rusty areas before insulating the hull and starting to fit new paneling.
There are one or two places where the rust is really thick and, given what's happened with my forward starboard fuel tank, I must say I'm a little worried about what I'll find under all that rust. What I will probably do is get some hull thickness readings taken in those spots before going much further, just to be sure.
The pile of wood on deck would have been bigger, but I was so tired that by the end of the day I could hardly hoist a pint of beer to my lips.

This is a birthday card for my mom. Today is her birthday: Happy Birthday, Mom! I used the Cardabilities Sketch #75 for inspiration. Mom kind of has a thing for cats 😉 so it seemed appropriate to use on of my Magenta cat stamps. Featuring this made me want to use them more! These papers were fun to use and layer, since the colors are muted it kept the design less busy for this relatively clean and simple designer. Thanks for visiting today.

No, I'm not feeling chatty today. That is the name of one of the colors I picked up during the Walgreens 99 cent Sinful Colors sale. It's a fabulous royal purple that is nearly impossible to capture. If you google the color, you will see about 18 bazillion different looking swatches. Normally, I am not a fan of purples on me. They just look....weird. But this purple has won my heart. And I fell in love all over again when I added the matte topcoat.
hooray lightbox! But really, it doesn't look like this in real life.
Gilded Lily seems to be a good dupe for the real gold flake polishes that are out there. Well, good enough. I'm not buying gold nail polish. That's just silly.
Oooh I love this polish glossy!! Next time Walgreens has this sale I'll be sure to pick it up!!
You must. It might be the best purple EVER.
And I love this polish matte, lol! Matte purple is so beautiful!
Me too! It looks like velvet in person. Everytime I touched it I was confused that it didnt feel like velvet.
I saw the first pics and was like "Thats kinda awesome...." and then I saw the matte coat and was like "OMFGWTFBBQZOMBIES DO WANT!"
You need it. To live.
What matte top coat do you recommend?
I've only tried two: Sephora by OPI and the Butter London one I used in this post. I definitely prefer the Butter London. It lasts longer, goes on easier, and give a much more "matte" look. I've heard really good things about the Essie matte coat as well. I had the HARDEST time finding a matte coat around here, though.
Sticking my nose in...NYC Matte Me Crazy is good...and under $2. I've used it and the BL and they're not too different, and the NYC is 1/7th the price. Should I post a comparison sometime?
yeah, do it. I could not find a matte coat anywhere. I ended up ordering the one from Sephora...but it was meh.

Home > Information > Amazon to open African headquarters in South Africa
chukannabuifeISSUES April 21, 2021 Information
Amazon, an American multinational technology which focuses on e-commerce, cloud computing, digital streaming and artificial intelligence, has announced that it will be opening its African headquarters in South Africa with a real estate investment of over $279 million (R4 billion).
The 15-hectare parcel of land is located at a new development in River Club, a prime section of the Cape Town and it includes two precincts. The first precinct of 60,000sqm will occupy different layers of development; while the second section of 70,000 will hold Amazon headquarters in Africa.
Business Tech reported that over 5,000 direct construction jobs and 19,000 indirect jobs are expected to be created due to the move.
Cape Town city officials said in a statement;
"US retail giant, Amazon, will be the anchor tenant, opening a base of operations on the African continent.
"The development is envisaged to take place in phases, with construction set to take place over three to five years."
Amazon has had its web engineering giant AWS in South Africa for years, but its main e-commerce services have not been available anywhere on the continent.
It is however unclear if Nigeria came up as a choice spot while the consideration was being made.

The government has committed itself to £30 billion of investment in the transport system but has also announced that capital spending by the Department of Transport is to be cut by 11 per cent.
Commuting employees, and employers whom want to encourage greener travel, will find that train fares are to rise by 3 per cent above the RPI rate of inflation for three years as from January 2012.
The government hopes that the additional funds can be used to ease the overcrowding on the railway system in many of the UK's larger cities.
Subsidies to bus operators are to be cut by 20 per cent, saving some £300 million by 2014/15.
However, £10 billion will be spent on the national and local road networks, while £14 billion will go to improving the national rail system over the same four-year period.
The Crossrail scheme is to go ahead in its entirety, and the East Coast mainline is also to be upgraded.

I sold my seventh book. I negotiated and signed the contract. I have begun the tedious process of creating the projects. Everyone has a different approach to this. Mine begins with an idea. Then I write my introduction, which fleshes out my idea. Then I create the outline. I determine the focus of each chapter. I don't work from chapter to chapter because I like to bounce around to the design that captures my fancy at any given moment.
My daughter started watching Cake Boss on Netflix. What a brilliant show, what an amazing artist! What I love is the moment in each show where Buddy's brain kicks into overdrive and he comes up with the concept. The thing I love is the graphic visual representation they create of what he's thinking. That is exactly how I design. I am inspired by something...an image, a motif, a pattern and then my brain begins to form an idea. So let's say it's a turret from an iconic building in Russia. I begin to think about how I can take some beads and wire and make a turret?
Then I make the design. It's never as easy as just thinking about it and making it...because there are basic laws of physics that I am defying with every twist of the wire. Just like the Cake Boss has to deal with fondant and icing and cake that may not cooperate, there may be a carnage of epic proportions around my desk...bits of wire, broken beads, funked up findings all sprinkled liberally with juicy expletives, but eventually with persistence, my vision becomes reality. Then my husband looks under my desk and shakes his head.
How in the heck do you do that in one day?!
Now if only I had a team of minions to do my bidding. Hey make this wire curl on the jig for me! You, hammer out this sheet metal! Over there, stop slacking and get this wire wrapping started!
I'm a team of one. One stubborn, impatient and determined woman who when inspired with an idea will insist on seeing it to completion. Therefore, in reality, my determination trumps my impatience every time.
If you want to write a craft book, you'll need to find out how to take your ideas and make them real. You'll need to fine tune your design and writing patterns and make them work to your advantage. You'll have deadlines, sometimes insanely short ones, and you will have to meet them. Deadlines are not arbitrary. Deadlines revolve around the entire team who is, in fact, waiting patiently to take your finished pieces and your concept and make a book. So...in reality...there are minions. They aren't your minions though because they're working for the publisher.
I will be insanely busy for the next two months. This is the shortest deadline I have ever had. I am doing my best to take it one design at a time, but in light of the other things on my plate, it's a daunting task to say the least.
Enough blather, I have a book to make!
Do you recommend any publishers?
One's that are conducive to crafts, DIY projects, how-to books, etc...?
I work with North Light Books, which is a division of F+W Media. They focus on Fine Art and Craft. I like them immensely. Other top craft publishers include: Interweave Press, Lark Books, Chronicle Books, Potter Craft, Kalmbach, Watson-Guptill...and many more!
I hope to one day be able to tell you I had a book published!
Congrats on your latest book! Looks like things are looking up.


Eunice Shriver was a treasured friend for many years. No one had more spirit, love in their heart, energy or humor than Eunice. Her creation of the Special Olympics is one of the great and lasting legacies of her remarkable family. It has been said that had Eunice been a man, she might well have been president I agree. Her family adored her. My heart goes out to them.
