Taking the family to Pleasurewood Hills after organising the workers who were helping to plan the kitchen unit positions and then wiring up the kitchen electrics.
At the end of a hot and humid day, this evening spent taking Diana out for a meal at the Horning Swan Hotel
I had agreed take the family to Pleasurewood Hills but only after getting the working day started. I was out quite early painting up test colour patches and doing other chores such as getting the kitchen plan laid out on the studwork and making sure that the complete layout of units would fit in place. Steve helped me for a while as I marked off the heights of the base and wall units first of all. I would have liked to have also marked the electric supply points before Ray Lond-Caulk, the electrician arrived, but he was soon at the site and looking to get started. The weather stayed fine as I showed him what I wanted to achieve and soon he was working in with David and getting his sockets and wiring in. I left four of them working on site as I drove the family off to Pleasurewood Hills and was pleased that I would see some real progress as a result.

A pleasant enough drive and for once (albeit under threat of not being taken again) the girls were well-behaved. We took our time in the theme park, letting the girls go and play on their favourite attractions together whilst Diana and I took the more leisurely options of cable and train rides. We all met up later and then left for home in mid-afternoon. The electrician had wired up the kitchen/diner ring main and located the positions for the sockets and started on the rest of the power cables. The others had bolted up most of the haunches having fitted them all and soon the roof plate would be finished. This evening spent taking Diana out for a meal at the Horning Swan Hotel where we enjoyed a fine meal and cooling walk there and back from Ropes Hill Dyke. Today had turned out so hot and humid.
