This morning was epic before school; Rosie was playing and singing and having lots of fun; I got to sit with her for a short while but was very busy with work as well so Angela got to have the joy of spending that time with her. It was great to see! Off Angela took Rosie to school and the men arrived and got stuck in to their tasks for the day. Today was all about consolidation and preparing the trench for cement pouring. They cleared more of the long grass, removed more of the uprights (not easy as they were so well fitted) and then spent a lot of time making sure the sides of the shuttering were both straight and at the right height. At the end of the day they removed the final sections of the chain link from behind the duck pond and they are hoping that a cement mixer driver will come check out the pour tomorrow and maybe arrange it soon. We will be doing the pour in two sections, this first bit and then they will reuse the shuttering to do the rest of the perimeter.

I didn't get to take pictures much during the day however today Angela got a load more stuff planted out in the garden, doing it this morning before it got too hot which is very sensible. After school and once I'd finished working I got to spend time with Rosie in the garden and laughing as she played with Xena.

So there you are; another day done. I'm now going to go have fun playing a game with Angela! Thanks for reading, see you tomorrow.
