A final flight back from Corfu and we were home. Everything as we'd left it, thankfully. We arrived to find our friend Lin cleaning the fridge -which was as good a home-coming as you could imagine. Lin was having the guilts for not having picked up some food we'd left for her on the last trip, which had resulted in a rather smelly fridge. It's a very clean smelling fridge now!
Some days to reset our internal clocks and get the washing done. A weekend at Nisos, and then on with the building. After the enforced rest period of this long hot summer, we are itching to get going again.
First task will be finishing three coats of limewash on the new plaster, the final west wall. Some window frames need sanding and painting, and the stem wall needs to be cleaned up. Then we wait for our Albanian friend, Beso, to paint the eaves all round, before we do a final, pigmented, linseed oil coat of limewash and the externals will be complete! Wow. Not sure how long all that will take.
Then we start on the inside .......

Our flight from Corfu, on the little plane. We were the only passengers, and were outnumbered by the staff. A very personal service.
