Well, we're amazed at how quickly these two guys are working. Day 3 and already the pool's concrete base is setting, half of the steel frame is in place and so are the steps.
Figgy thinks that there must surely be some mice down there that need 'liberating' from their safe holes.
Meanwhile up in the attic, Jon has moved some of the old flooring and it looks as though it won't be going back down again. He's also moved a heap of rubble, concrete and other rubbish and found one beam with no centre. It seems there must have been a leak in the roof at some point, probably at least 25 years ago. A repair was made but the water rotted the centre of the beam in one place. The rest of the beam, including the outside seems very sound and it is still holding up the hanging ceiling so we will see if we can treat it and fill it before we re-lay the floor at that point.
We were out at friends for supper last night. It was a lovely evening, lots of chatter and banter and we left at 11.30pm. The drive home took an hour and during that time we saw:
- one hedgehog
- one mouse
- three ducks crossing the road in the middle of a village
- one toad
- several deer
- five vehicles

I can play that game too
I went to Reigate today and I saw
One frog
100 dogs
two dead foxes
one dead badger
and....
Loads (thats a new number) of vehicles
I saw today, when I went to Dawley, one dog wearing a pink sock and a cat and a lizard (the lizard was in the cats mouth). There were also a few horseless carriages driven by chavs.
Now, G.R. I think you're cheating - that dog in a pink sock is your very own, I believe. I hope she's getting better.
You must be having a spot of global warming up there in Salop. Our lizards have yet to poke their little heads out from under their stones without getting frostbite.
The lizard didn't look terribly lively, I'm not sure if that was because it was a touch cool, or the fact it was clamped firmly in the cats mouth.
It is our dog, but I saw the dog and pink sock as a reflection in a shop window as I walked past, so that's a bit like seeing someone else's dog (isn't it??)
