Leptolanche

I reckon that if it's ok for other industries- such as IT- to create new words, then I can too.


My submission is 'leptolanche'.  Meaning:- If you spend all day loading assorted scrub- but mostly Leptospermum tea-tree- onto your trailer, getting scratched to pieces in the process, then, just before you are able to tie it down it all comes cascading off the trailer back onto the ground. A leptolanche.  If the leptolanche happens at the end of the day (almost by definition it will) when, combined with the scratches there is a general feeling of fatigue, well, a leptolanche is not a happy occurrence.


I hasten to add that when working alone in the bush every day digging tea-tree, one's mind tends to wander in strange directions.


Good progress again today, although it was extremely hard.  A lot of today's scrub was old/damaged/dead/hard tea-tree, and it was very hard to remove, or even handle.  But it's now at our local green waste collection centre (aka the dump), and I am now 12 metres (yes, metric) along the northwest wall.  The width of the Trainbarn will be 14m, and another couple of metres clearance, which all adds up to the fact that I'm getting very close to finishing the preparation of this side.


I think I'm going to have to do something completely different once I've finished the preparation of this site!!  Which I guess will be required anyway.  Something like building a toy train layout!!
