19th June
Today we work very hard from 8.30 until nearly 7.00 but it
was worth it; we have sorted out the roof profile (hoo-bloody-rah) with lots of
packing/spacers (3" in the centre)
Look at the difference between the old and new roof levels
and what we finished today looks
excellent.
Guess the leveled end!
We now have half a roof on the building but only half of that has
been levelled, hopefully we'll get that done quite quickly tomorrow (Brett
reckons 2 hours), now that we know what we're doing. Brett is really looking forward to rendering the outside of the building, so it won't look like blocks anymore.
Gary came around this evening; the second kitten has died,
very sad but not unexpected, he reckoned it was only about three weeks old - it
couldn't even have been weaned.
P&M were going out for a meal in Penamacor, they invited
us - but we were too tired (I can't believe it!!!), we didn't even have the
energy to drive.
Oh dear, I put my hair in plaits on Saturday, when we
started the roof, I hadn't taken them out ................ when I went to wash
my hair tonight I had dreadlocks, I couldn't get a brush through it!
We've been finding lots of stick insects in the house; Will
and Hen used to keep them as pets, it seems strange finding them wild (Will
maybe Alexandra and Lawrence could take some home, when you come to visit?).
This one was on my pillow when I went to bed!
The people we met driving along our track in a campervan
came to visit us the other day - they are buying the land they showed us, and
sign tomorrow (it's ridiculously quick here to purchase land and houses).
