A working day in Horning after a cold night cutting and putting up my last section of the Masterboard until the extra sheets arrive. As the day brightened up, I could then dry off the remaining cladding and get some of it stained ready for next week's working party.
On the radio, I was following the House of Commons debate on the run down of the coal industry where Heseltine was given a very rough ride, but the government managed to achieve a small majority
I felt cold during the night and had to keep pulling the extra sleeping bag cover back over me as it slid to the floor. Then slow to get ready this morning. Just toast for breakfast (as I had no chance to get to the shops) and then wrapped up as best as I could to face the dull and cold morning. The breeze was still from a northerly direction as I started the day cutting and putting up my last section of the Masterboard until the extra sheets arrive. Some more work on the eaves fillers and then a break for a modest sandwich lunch to save time. The day had brightened up and so I could now dry off the remaining cladding and get some of it stained ready for next week's working party.

By dusk, I had completed two out of the ten or so layers, leaving much still left to do. A trip into Wroxham to get some tea and supplies and then back to work again on Harnser, this time using a new mitring tool to cut the skirting board for my trial room (the toilet). I was listening to the radio for most of the day, following the House of Commons debate on the run down of the coal industry. Although Heseltine was given a very rough ride, the government managed to achieve a small majority. There were tens of thousands of miners and other sympathisers in London lobbying for a different decision, but the fight goes on. A call home tonight where all was well.
