Watching paint dry


We were privileged to have a visit from Geof Tasker, the director of Murobond, who came down to see the church and then, back in Sydney, mixed a custom made traditional lime wash that would match the existing wall colour. We were somewhat alarmed on opening to see it was bright orange, and thicker than custard.

Surely this can't be our tin? When it dried however it was after all the right colour - except where there was still rising damp, as indicated by the orange patches. As it dried, I finally understood that watching paint dry can be exciting and not such an old joke after all !
