Spiral Creations.

Spiral Creations is the name of a jewellery store in St Helens. Ben's been talking with the owner about producing jewellery incorporating some of the gemstones that have been collected and cut. Their website shows examples of the items on sale and they do look impressive. Of the three topaz sent to Hobart only one was cut; the other two stones were faulty in some way. However, the one that was cut has turned out really well and looks like a large glittery diamond. It's cold and miserable in Tasmania today. The gloves are wet and that makes riding the bike uncomfortable. He's abandoned a planned trip to St Helens and, instead, will buy a hot lunch at the Holy Cow Cafe in Pyengana.


4pm update: According to the "tracking device", he did go to St Helens after all. The current device readout shows a balance of under $50.00; having to replace a worn front motorbike tyre sure dented this week's budget.
