After a good lay in and my fried breakfast, I persuaded Daniel to help me with painting my quay-heading as I worked all day but has still had less than half of the total job done.
With echoes of the Marchioness disaster, 179 people are on board as a ship sinks after a collision on the Danube and an eight-year-old girl dies in Bletchley as a pile of wood falls on her from a trolley at a DIY store. Windy and cloudy but mainly dry today.
A good lay in this morning before down to breakfast for my fried meal in my dressing gown. A lively discussion with Daniel, after which he agreed to help me for a couple of hours this morning. We painted more of the river front and I continued the task this afternoon and evening but even then I have less than half of the total job done. Amazing, really, that the rain has not come we are still in the middle of a drought.

I worked two hours on, and an hour off for rest in four sessions. I hope that we will not have to do this job again for a few years. I was to have watched the final day of the World Cup athletics this evening, but it was raining with such storm force in Barcelona that the entire games were called off. The danger from electrical storms is on top of the impossible conditions for field events.
News today is of tragedies: 179 people are on board as a ship sinks after a collision on the Danube and another on a smaller scale but equally tragic when an eight-year-old girl dies in Bletchley as a pile of wood falls on her from a trolley at a DIY store. A cloudy day today, but the wind stopped the few spots of rain from staying very long.
