Dodging the Storm Clouds

Actually, we were lucky with the weather today. Although it was forecast for rain all day, it had just stopped raining when we got up and we did not see any more rain at all. In fact it was hot!

So, our workmen were able to chip off the old mortar from the stone joints, ready to re-do the joints tomorrow (subject to weather).

As you can see, Patrick had the best job, driving (sitting in) the Manitou. If all goes well (and it stays dry), Cyrille will have the roof all done in a week.

The storm clouds were hovering around indoors. I was carrying on with the lining paper in the bathroom, when the superintendant arrived. My work was condemned for quality and, after a brief discussion, we had the expert on the job.

Sue actually didn't seem to be able to obtain a much better result than I had been getting, however, the proof of the pudding will be when we paint the walls. We're not sure that the lining paper is going to cover the jointing of the plasterboards well enough.

So, whilst Sue was carrying on with the papering, I began to build the wardrobe in the bedroom.

We need the wardrobe done so that we can move our clothes out of John and Lesley's house.
