the smell of burning rubber

After some fun in the sun by the sea (it was much much colder than anticipated but we still had lovely icecreams), it was back to Project Garden. One of the plans is for a tyre swing. Drilling a hole into a tyre is way harder than I could have imagined - there's a layer of metal threads that were very tricky to get through. I now can still smell the stench of burning rubber in my scarf. And whilst we've succeeded in breaking through the strands, the hole is nowhere near big enough yet to get the rope through. Maybe that will stay on hold for now til we get better tools. Meanwhile today's another sunny day but I really must tried and do some paid work. Oh and some more sorting for Christian Aid Week. I'm glad they've already released £50,000 for Nepal.
