I went to the Innovation Campus to see Glenn (Technical Officer) to borrow equipment for tomorrow’s Clubs Day media needs (Canon 5D DSLR; Sony camcorder, and 2 Manfrotto tripods). I need to return them on Friday and we can go to lunch to discuss plans.
I also spoke to Glenn about my proposed exhibition in 2020. We had a look in the washroom part of the male toilets and determined a place that a screen could be installed. I see this space (gallery toilet) as being on the boundary of art and life. Therefore, a participatory installation will consist of soap to wash hands with, accompanied by a screen providing information about DIY and commercial soaps.
I looked elsewhere for food grade eucalyptus to use in home-made toothpaste but still keep finding only non-food grade, poison grade eucalyptus for cleaning. I need check with Jason, who’s recipe I have, to see where he found his food grade eucalyptus.
I organised what needs to be collected from others to be taken to the Uni tomorrow.
I completed the latest draft of my RPR and sent it to my supervisors to give them time to look at it and provide feedback for our meeting on Friday morning.

I researched eucalyptus oil and found it is not good to ingest over a long period (such as a year) because of liver damage… It is therefore unsuitable for using in toothpaste. I found that cinnamon and peppermint are both ok to use.
A very nice, complex-oil-blend
soap made by and with a friend. Great for using as shampoo or
for shaving.

I have developed a of body aching un-wellness. I am taking it easy for a few days.

Most of the time (depending on my housemate) I can tip the contents of the garbage bag into newspaper. This can then go into the bin and the bag can be reused.

I did a load of washing today and tried putting diluted eucalyptus oil on the persistent underarm stains that are caused by my homemade deodorant.

Maybe I should have soaked. This gave the washing a nice smell but failed to remove the stains.
Despite not being 100%, I thought I might be OK to go to a party for a friend who is moving overseas. I felt like I should go because I won’t get a chance to see them before they leave. (And I’d already been embarrassed at the op-shop getting a ‘dress’ to wear… yes, a dress)
13/8/2017 – Sunday
Unfortunately, the party last night was a ‘drag’ event and held outside where it was freezing cold with a strong wind blowing and I have developed an even nastier flu.
