Another bloody Garth!
Roy and I were in Melbourne not long ago - he to catch-up with family and I to attend the opening of the Montalto Sculpture Prize where my sculpture, 'Silent Embrace' is a finalist. While there Roy's sister and brother-in-law had us to dinner at their St Kilda apartment. The weather was nice, suitable for a barbeque dinner. In Melbourne that means that it wasn't raining (too hard) and it was above 13 degrees celsius.
Little did I know that Roy's sis and bro-in-law had too bought a Garth barbeque not that long ago! I shared my shaggy-dog story about the joys and thrills of assembling my Garth bbq and asked them what their experience was like. Well, turns out that they are much smarter than I am as they outsourced the effort to an authorised Garth field assembler. If I had known how frustrating the experience was to be in trying to assemble the darned bbq I would have gladly paid someone $60 or so to put mine together as well.
As I said earlier, I do have to give credit to the Garth folks for the very professional packaging and images on the boxes. Very good looking. Very nice boxes. Have I told you how impressed I was with the outside of those three cardboard boxes...
