I was awake to make a start working by 7.45am and Steve had arrived from Cambridgeshire by 8.15am continuing where we left off on Friday. The weather had been atrocious earlier on; gale force winds and torrential rain driving against the buildings. I cut and fitted more architrave and skirting board and Steve finished off and taped the Masterboard.
An early lunch and then we tackled the stairs together fitting the spindles that form the balustrade before rushing off for more materials and having dinner in a nice Hong Kong Restaurant. More work until we gave up at 11.00pm.
I thought about my Dad for a while today on his former birthday. He would have been pleased with my efforts on the building
I was awake and up early to be ready to make a start and was working by 7.45am and Steve had arrived from Cambridgeshire by 8.15am. We spent most of the morning by continuing where we left off on Friday. I cut and fitted architrave to the upper room storage cupboards and then the remaining pieces of skirting board to the larder off the kitchen. Steve was hammering home prominent Masterboard nails and then filling the dents whilst also taping more of the joints. An early lunch and then we tackled the stairs together, Steve completing the framework and then us both cutting and fitting the spindles that form the balustrade above. I cut them and the spacers that secured them into position and Steve fixed them in place.

Catching with my care of the doves and fish and then Debbie came and used my main computer as she gets the hang of word-processing and writes back to hordes of pen-friends that still respond to her Jackie advert.
Daniel and Angela visit and stay for lunch and tea before he took Angela off in the evening to Newhaven to catch a very late overnight ferry back to France and I returned to Norfolk
I had a little trouble sleeping again last night as I no longer find the hardness of my Paxton bed very comfortable. In fact, when I do sleep in it, I wake up with a stiff back and a limb with pins-and-needles more often than not. Diana got the drinks and then disappeared for a while and so I used the shower first and then she came back and took over. She was concerned about making the Sunday lunch and would not tarry in bed and so I was soon down and working. I had to go out and feed the doves and check the mole traps - though I had no luck in catching any today. More attention to the fish which continue to grow and thrive in my pond and then I got the gardener's logbook in and sorted out his money for these last two weeks before coming back in for good.
