Weekend and more rain delays

 We're back, a day later than expected due to very heavy rain yesterday. Onwards, no delay. Let's get this written.

Saturday is Daddy day and this Saturday I took Rosie into town briefly to go to the shops to pick up a few bits and pieces that I wanted. She loves getting out so was very happy indeed to be there. We had a picnic in the sun on the lawn and spoke with Grandma and Auntie Nods and after her nap I took her over to the neighbours where she played with the grandson and ran around the garden, then disappeared off with the Little Lady to see the sheep and chicks. It's so good to live somewhere safe. Sunday is Mummy day and Rosie helped Angela to stain up the pallets that will be being used to do a garden for Rosie. For my part I managed to get the network cabling done to connect the balcony to the main network. Later on the Little Lady and her granddaughter came over with a baby tortoise they had found. Rosie was fascinated but eventually we put it carefully into some rough ground on our land. Hopefully it'll survive. Yesterday it was miserable all day, with very heavy rain pretty much all day. Unsurprisingly the workmen didn't come.

I had a very bad night sleep last night and was very busy at work but today the workmen did come in, though I expected them to stay away again. It was overcast and cold at first but then it cleared towards lunchtime and was quite pleasant at times. The task at hand was the shifting of more infill material, heavy work still, and then sorting through what had been spread to move the bigger stones that were causing unevenness and stacking them by the ramp. It started to get more stormy towards the end of the day and when Angela went to collect Rosie a big storm hit right over head and scared Thelma and Louise, who proceeded to prevent my quick after work nap. It blew over relatively fast, though, and now there's barely a cloud in the sky again. Such changeable weather.

Tomorrow morning I'm having my first vaccine so hopefully I'll be OK to do the update but if not I'll be back as soon as I can. Thanks for reading.

    1. Very odd indeed; we're still not seeing really hot weather, hopefully the summer will arrive and be long enough to make all this effort on the patio to get it right for our pool worth while :)
