As Orum remarked recently, its gotten quiet over here with hardly any updates......
Yes, Summer; 3 months of basically holidays with some freelance job interruptions. Lots of time, yet no time to do anything really.
I do love myself the structure of a "normal" working-week. With all that free time on hand and nothing really getting done, I think I should fear "retirement".
Summer was not the best time for being at the cabin, the humidity ensued that I gave up painting anything already 3 months ago. So it was a little here and there everywhere. Nothing really to see in pictures.
Then a bit over a month ago I decided to do something about the bald patches in front of the house, causing lots of dirt being carried into the cabin at all times. So I started to carry cement again, and instead of carrying sand, collected sand from the surrounding area (mostly accumulated sand and gravel along the path). Not the best solution, but as it is only for the floor, creating a patio, it should be good enough.

And then, thus far, spend 3 days mixing and pouring a good 1000kg/2000pound of material by hand. Who needs a gym, when you have workouts like that?

Now still needs a fine top layer, to even everything out and regulate waterflow away from the house.
The best thing on doing the trips up there? Besides exercise? Surely must be the sunrises.
None of the following pics where taken on the same days.

And 3 days ago, nearly centering the sun between our two tallest buildings in Hong Kong

Rocks came a bit short this summer, I spend more time refining things than actually create new ones.
When there is no time for sitting at the machine, its usually Fire Agates that get the attention for improvement.
This one is awaiting carving at the back. Im thinking of a challenge and try a face again

Like the one above; nice for agates, but nothing special when it comes to fireagate

One more in progress
August 2017 one more Fire Agate, Kainzer Kurt by Kainzer Kurt, on Flickr
Long overdue, and delayed because of my reluctance to do faces for a friend in Austria

And the best for last. The best piece I will ever get on my limited budget.
