3rd April 205 - Steady Progress

Thought for the day :"Average things are manufactured at the satisfactory."

Wet (only a bit)

2025 : Wet 41 : Dry 51

Off to Bookers to get provisions for the Belgian Horde...

Met up with Nancy who has a current business card - apparently I can apply o line and take some ID when I go next ..

But bought the provisions for the pre cook food for the Belgian Trip and I took the opportunity of buying in Tavern supplies that I cannot get elsewhere  

Back to the homestead and Dave and Rhys had given up because they did not find the key to the back door and could not get a coffee, but despite my initial thought, they had done some rendering , some work with the digger and some settling of paving stones ..

In fairness - Rhys finished with a half day and Dave gave me another couple of hours 

So only a few photos today - but Susie cleared the shower block and put the first layer of paint down onto the floor. It was very strong in smell!!  It is a rubber based paint and would be difficult to use inside with the chemical aromas.

I spent some time on the lighting, trying to repair the ones that have been filled with water and have rotted - seems that I made a mistake in unscrewing some as it let water and corrosion in ..   may have to replace with new bulbs which is a pity - will try some more spare bulbs tomorrow and see if it is the holder r the bulb at fault..

We are getting there slowly !! Honest 

Both very tired tonight and popped down to Charlie and Spot for glass of wine - actually we were meant to be picking up some items but never got around to it ..

Left a note for our favourite ASDA man - Gareth, saying that we were down the road and to give a call when he arrived - He gave a call to say that he had bagged up all the items, had put the frozen food in the freezer and was on his way and enjoy your drink !!!

You can't fault service like this !!

Will have to see if there is a place I can leave a feedback!

Anyway - a little rain coming in overnight but hopefully we still have good weather ahead

Hoping to finish the Eco Toilet tomorrow 

Cheers !
