I was painting the logo you see on the left on the wall of a brewery. Needless to say I took some lovely and tasty farewell gifts home when I was finished! More pics can be found here.

I just love working on boom lifts, or cherry pickers, as they are also called. I really enjoy being able to see so far, and I don't find the gentle swaying scary at all... just annoying if it gets windy, because it's hard to paint a straight line when you're standing on a moving platform!

This particular contract has been in the making for a year. There were so many bureaucratic hurdles to take, and by the time I could have begun it was way too late in the autumn. But I knew it was coming and I was looking forward to getting started.
Right now I'm busy thinking of clever ways to enlarge the designs to 10 X 10 meter, and making a list of all the stuff I'll need. First thing on the list is the boom lift itself. I could rent one, but it would swallow a third of the budget, so buying one (and selling it afterwards) is going to work out cheaper...
I'll be the proud owner of my very own diesel-powered dinosaur for the next six months!

Now if you don't think that's exciting, you would not recognize exciting if it would be dancing on the piano in a pink tutu while singing 'I'm exciting, I'm exciting'.
