It seems that just to get replacement air conditioning, you can't expect honest tradies or professional sales people. Then who the heck can you trust, Dot?  I have come to detest having to deal with any kind of tradie. Sick of the shonky ones, anyway. Figuring out if they are shonky or not, is another problem.

This afternoon, we had so much rain that it was impossible to talk to each other and the phone was turned off  because we couldn't hear anything on it either. The rain gauge said that we had over 2 inches of rain in a couple of hours. I can believe that. The biggest worry now, is not just the amount of water, but the undermining of big trees. There will be many big trees just fall over, after so much heavy rain. 
I took out another black and white bowl from the kiln. It looks, well, black and white. I have three more to get fused and then the black and white will be done for a while, well unless they sell out really quickly (not very likely)
