9 - 12 June 2014
Saw Rowan on Monday and agreed the wood we would need to make progress with the doors and windows in the finished bale walls, and then made the trek to the woodyard. They agreed to deliver, as we needed big sheets of plasterboard and plywood too, so we went home to wait. Waited all Tuesday, then all Wednesday. Definitely Thursday they said on the phone.
Meanwhile, Dave has started summer gigs at the Tree Bar at the wonderful hours of 7.30 to 9.30 - so very civilised. The original three: Dave, Vinnie and Mark have been joined by Hosny the Egyptian drummer, Geoff another acoustic guitar/singer and occasionally Ciara with the wonderful voice.
One Sunday after work the weather turned suddenly stormy and we rushed down to the boat which had dragged its anchor. In raincoats and shorts Dave leapt aboard and stood at the wheel for half an hour in a downpour. I huddled on Mad Robbie's boat under cover of the wheelhouse shouting encouragements!
The boys were due to play a beach bar and barbeque that evening, for Neilson staff, but the storm kept them busy and then everything was cold and wet, so the gig was rather empty. Dave and I were soaked.
And an extremely sinister group who have to be seen to be believed - http://youtu.be/aWmfjGq62Rs

Then on Thursday there was a local charity talent show up in the village: full of people we know, and lots of fun.
