- That explains it. I was making paint at a living history event, and thought
- it would be okay for the kids to grind some up, as I hadn't mixed in any
- medium yet. No medium - no paint, just colour I thought. I got a few letters

- black - and what was the manor going to do about that Journeyman stainer,
- and by the way had they seen that blue streak down the side of the moat
- house where the stainers had been washing their slab out the window!
