We just experienced the hottest day of the year at 34c which reduced activity not least as the shed became uninhabitable, a reminder of runnaway climate change devastating many places worldwide.
We jumped on the bike to have air flow and made it to Co-opepys where final stages of preparation are underway to set up Kali Hypothesis, a participatory detective story which explores our DNA relationship with virus disruption and behavior programming. We are excited and pleased that our resident artist David is showing this work for the first time, there in Pepys Estate.
Whilst the shed was over-heated switched attention to the wood store and the side of the end of terrace house. Always on the lookout for useful materials, had already collected most of what was needed. The timber shelter got rebuilt so it protects everything much better.
All the water from it’s new 7m polycarbonate roof is captured in a 200l water barrel for use in the front garden which is dry as a bone most of the year. Extra light reaches the ground since removal of the huge sycamore earlier this year, now we are looking for a climbing rose to bring some colour and a bit of extra pricklyiness to help protect the side access.
The Wealth of Negations log we helped rejuvinate in the spring has tracked news of international disasters, global temperatures and commented on the general mood as issues stack up. We are being ‘sheltered’ from the world climate and exploitation news, why is that?
Later today will attend a meeting at LimeHouse Town Hall to focus on a raft of building development and management initiatives. There will be a solar energy capture system for the roof once it gets further refurbishment and rationalisation of the internal wiring to accomodate these additional demands on its antiquated power infrastructure. It’s 20 years since formation of the Limehouse Trust a milestone that will be celebrated with a week of activity in second half of September 2024.
Upstairs in TopRoom the Yoshi stack has been sorted and documented though the process goes on to review the 50 years of photographs. Do come visit any Wednesday from noon or participate in daily workshops on 18th, 19th and 20th September from noon till teatime which forms a key part of our contribution toward these celebrations.
