On another fine, warm and sunny day, Securicor arrived with some boat parts and then Jack to help me jack up the shed roof again after I had started renovating the walls. A lorry load of blocks arrived today and struggled with the overgrown road. It does not seem as if Freda can get down to stay with Mum next week after she had promised to relieve Mum's Home Help, Doris
Awake at 7.00am to my, by now, customary early fried breakfast to be greeted by another very fine, warm and sunny day. Securicor arrived early as well with my new macerator and water pressure tank and things were beginning to look up. I was out early to the garage where I completed the task of clearing it out and was embarking on the renovation of the shed sides when Jack arrived to help me with the shed-raising again. This process continued all morning and afternoon until the bare roof had risen to a height of 3ft again and I was able to get inside the roof to remove the old nails and conduct some repairs. I also managed to rebuild the back and front walls, by cutting them down to 4ft with the idea of adding 2ft extensions once we had the shed up to that height.

The lorry load of blocks duly arrived today, and their poor delivery driver had a large vehicle which was damaged by the overhanging trees which was quite a performance. In this evening's 'phone calls, I established that Freda and Alf were still in trouble with their move and it does not seem as if Freda can get down to stay with Mum next week. She had promised to do so to relieve Mum's Home Help, Doris, who was due to visit relatives on the Isle of Wight for a short break.
