Work goes on, but the weather isn't kind to us. Even on days forecast for fine weather it gets drizzly and we wash out all the gear and retreat under cover. I'm trying to get at least one space in the wood frame lathed every day that we're rained off the outside, but it is tempting to huddle away in our bedsitter and have the heating on.
Dave keeps plastering his way round and up the walls, and I'm getting on with the bale end section. As Dave needs the scaffolding (two buckets of mortar, a hawk, two trowels and a water spray bottle can't be worked off a ladder) I'm dangling off the ladder with a bucket of straw-lime filler. Any higher than this and I'll have to wait for Dave and the scaffolding to get round to here.
And the surprise was a gift of gluten-free flour from Amanda's mum (sent in a parcel to Amanda) which inspired us to ask Robbie and Sue to make pasties for Dave - as he's been conspicuously bereft when we're all eating them. The first attempt wouldn't stick together well enough for pasties, so Sue came up with this pie - all for Dave. He's a very happy bunny.
