 Another day and a shorter update today.

It was grey and damp all day today, the promised sun never showed. I even lit the fire. It was another lay in for all of us today so I was almost straight to my desk after waking. Halil was on with painting the landing again, finishing the first coat and then starting the second. It should be complete tomorrow I hope. Bekir made some little slivers of wood to put around the double doors to the games room to tidy that edge off and then he was outside moving the downpipe to a better location - Halil helped him with that. Angela was feeling very under the weather again today but managed to keep Rosie entertained which was impressive - Rosie is really getting good with the puppies and them with her. Halil and Bekir went to the shops in Thomas and picked up some supplies including some steel to put on the outside of the windows to finally finish that off and then Bekir got on with grouting the tiles on the wall. The last thing for him was to clean the chimneys and he went onto the roof and got so much soot out of the chimney for the lounge it was incredible. He also cleaned the one for Room 13 but could not find the cleaning access panel anyway, which is really strange.

And there is the day; off to continue the Hobbit viewing now.

  1. Please dissuade Bekir from going onto the roof like that; it is very dangerous. I have known of one sweep fatality doing just that.

    1. I would not know how to do so; I know what you mean, it does scare me as well.
