Lining the store-room cupboard, hall and bathroom

Alan and I working together lining the store-room cupboard, hall and bathroom and then fitting the trim, architrave and skirting.

Some paperwork on my building accounts before my journal, a bath and then to bed. It stayed fine today, despite forecasts of rain, but it both started and ended cold as winter gets nearer.

There was just Alan and I working today, as Steve had an engagement elsewhere. I was up earlier than usual as there had been some talk of an early start to make best use of the daylight. I was working away when Alan arrived at 7.30am and we soon got down to work, lining the store-room cupboard and then fitting the trim, architrave and skirting. We then did a similar job on the hall before moving into the bathroom and fitting the side panels to the shower basin and bath.

Finishing earlier than usual, I had time to get to Jewsons before they closed and bought some more materials and was chased for payment on a number of outstanding bills. Then some food shopping and I was going to get some fried plaice from my favourite fish shop but gave up on them because I was kept waiting. Some soup, bread and pie for tea and then I settled down to do some paperwork on my building accounts before my journal, a bath and then to bed. It stayed fine today, despite the forecasts of rain, but it both started and ended cold as winter gets nearer.
