So, Dave started on the outside wall, getting plaster coat three on the most difficult wall first. He is still exhausted, but struggling on manfully. Each application of plaster is now going off much faster, and must be sponged on the same day, so he can't build up the scaffolding where it will obstruct access to the already applied coat. This creates a natural rhythm, limiting the amount that can be done at a time.
Meanwhile, I'm aware that we've got a week before Neil comes to lay the tiles in the kitchen/pantry area, and that it would be good to get as much dirty work done in those spaces as possible, before the tiles go down and make an extra worry. So, internal plastering is my job.
Here's the completed floor slab in the kitchen/pantry area, and a bit of rough plaster slapped on at right. All the walls under and around the stairs need building and plastering.

This is a sink that friends have given us, and this is the lodger we found in it on our return:
