Not much to report with all this plastering. We get up, Dave loads the mixer and sets it running, we have breakfast, I find gloves, trowel, bag of loose straw and my buckets, and set up the scaffolding. Then I add plaster to wall, while Dave makes the next mix. Then we have tea (and sometimes chocolate), I add more plaster to the wall, Dave makes another mix. We have lunch. More plaster goes on the wall. We stop, worn out, have more tea, wash, change and slump for the evening. Next day, we do it again.

Today, we finished the south wall - three coats on. Hallelujah! Fran
started this one for us, and it's taken a month, off and on, around
other things. There now remain three sections to do: around the front
door; the big west wall, and a little section of north wall that will
complete the circuit around the house.
South east corner and south wall, all plastering done, and looking rather majestic. Limewashing still to do.
