Expecting the builders today, so we were up and about early, with the dog walked and cats and chickens fed. What joy! the water was still warmish in the morning, after three days of full sun reaching the panels at last. The lads got on with the rafters, and we set to work logging and oliving.

But the good weather wasn't going to last, so today was a race against the rain

Our most radically pruned tree of all - no little branches on this one. We are assured they will grow, though.
By 1230 the rain has arrived and is lashing down on everything. The builders waited out the first deluge, but it didn't seem to be letting up, so they packed up damply and left with apologies.
My job: picking these lovely olives off the cut branches.
