Thought for the day :"Apparently a one legged hippo is a hoppo"
Wet bit of drizzle as we worked and full scale later in the evening
After a day of just cutting yesterday I engaged Chris to come and help us as extra labour, and he was great.
Arriving at a quarter to me he caught me by surprise - not having let the Ducks and Chicken out yet,
so I put the kettle on and we went down to see what was required and started getting everything ready so we were well at work when Dave and Rhys turned up.
"I hope Iain hasn't got some type of Popeye to work for him " says Rhys .
Soon proves that we have as Chris is a real Worker.
Giving him the first task to get me a really hot fire going ( he is a woodsman) and having failed miserably to get a fire running yesterday Chris cam into his own !! and Soon a huge hot fire is going. We have two great piles of foliage and the thoughts seems daunting that we may be able to get rid of them - but that is what we do !!
9am until 2pm - and in fairness we have all worked far harder than any of us expected - so I called it a day and paid the extra hour to everyone as a bonus..
(Don't think we would ever have got there without Chris's quick return to work at every coffee break)
Very pleased with the result to finish this week
I have asked Chris to come back again on Monday !!
But was out again this morning
Managed a shower at about 5pm and the power went out again just after dinner . Chose the time well.
Seems we are entitled to £85 for the first 48 hours out and then £40 for every 6 hour period afterwards.
Nice to know that we get something back
Rumour that we also will get £100 for spoiled food
Cheers !
