Mowed the dreaded back lawn this morning, despite the frost & did a tiny bit of weeding & a bit more work on a couple of paintings so am now officially knackered & intend doing not a damned thing for the rest of the day.
There's building due to start on two houses in the neighbourhood so we have lots of trucks coming & going. That's likely to continue for a while as they seem to be digging enormous foundation holes so possibly the soil had to be sorted out; there was quite a bit of liquefaction around here so that's probably it.
I'm currently watching a doco about the Mormons who went in for polygamy, the ones who followed the infamous Warren Jeffs. Those poor people probably didn't stand a chance, born into a sect like that & brainwashed virtually from birth, it would be extremely difficult to find the strength to break away since they were convinced their leader ' the prophet' was their one hope of entering an afterlife. Similar to Gloriavale in some ways.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
