Building walls

I'm late sitting down to write this as I've been out for a lovely beer and food with a mate; it was a lovely evening but now I'm gonna get this done, sip a cuppa, then go to bed. Onwards!

Bringing sand and stones for the mixer

About to start mixing

Putting cement in to the foundations

Foundations are laid

Blocks are being laid!

Halil bends metal to fix the mixer

First course of foundation bricks are laid

More sand delivered

So the title of this update really gives the game away; today we had three men working and they were continuing on the raised beds. This meant mixing up more concrete to build the foundations up and then they started to lay the first course of blocks. It is very exciting to see this coming together! Halil was hammering away at a couple of pieces of metal to fix something that isn't right about the cement mixer during the afternoon and also we had two truck loads of sand delivered. I was very busy with work and didn't get to see much of it really however it was lovely to get out at the end of the day and see so much progress. Hopefully another good day tomorrow!

Dinner is served

Treated myself to dessert

After some lovely time with Rosie when she got back from school I was dropped down into town by Angela and had a really cool time with my friend at a local bar and restaurant. We talked and ate and had a couple of beers and then I walked back up the hill in the rain to home. It was a very nice evening, and much needed.

So there it is; blog done, tea not even touched so time to drink that then bed. Thanks for reading.
