About now we agreed that Jonathan could have a bit of a holiday while he was here, so he and Dave and Pete went sailing (and unproductively fishing) for the day, leaving me happily pottering about the house, doing the remaining jobs.

The final upstairs window box constructed
This is a stack of offcuts standing up against the bales - making happy chirping noises ...
... as the chicken had made a nest in a dark corner, busily pulling straws out of the bales to make a cosy place (she wasn't too thrilled by the flash photography)
Then I painted wood preservative on the four frames and the door lintel that were already installed, as well as the uninstalled one - it having suddenly occurred to me that this would be easier done at ground level, before fitting!
And the final job, cutting strips of blue netting to line the wood frame for eventual internal plastering of the bales
Then I met up with the boys and we went to a traditional taverna up the mountain, with a roaring olive log fire and had chunks of meat off the spit - a good way to complete a December day's sailing (and building)
Dave looking like a happy bunny after a proper day off and lots of food.
