Thursday 21 April 2011
We were frantically busy in the boatyard up to Wednesday 20 April, when all four boats Dave looks after were launched, and largely off our hands, into gardiennage by IBA.
We had had emails to tell us that there was another cob building course running in Ligia, but the timing this year (because Easter was so late) was impossible. With the battery trouble we’d had the internet turned off except when the generator was running, so we’d made only very brief forays into our emails, and then mostly for work purposes, so the dates of the course had escaped me.
Luckily, Dave had had to run into Lefkas for an urgent boat part, and noticed a lot of cars parked by Stamatina and Alex’s place, so on Thursday we went to call.
The course was finishing that day. They’d done quite a lot to the workshop we’d helped build last year. There was a first layer of earth plaster on the walls, and a wattle and daub loft started, as well as joists put in for shade over the oven and bench.
