I'm pretty late starting this today as I went out for a beer and some food with Dincher this evening, which was awesome. It was a pretty cool day, however, so let's get back to it.

The sunrise this morning was lovely, so much so I went back upstairs to get a picture. While I was up there I saw the ducks in the pond for the first time. I have been told they've been in loads but I just haven't seen them. The men were in on time and made a start on laying out the lines for the top of the roof, or rather where the top of the columns will go to. We now have a string running along showing that. They headed out to get some supplies and when they got back they did some more painting of the steel which will go along the top of the columns. Then it was out again to get some more metal to use as plates top and bottom of the I beams. With that done they measured everything again multiple times to make sure they had it right then Bekir got the big metal cutter and they started to cut the first of the beams. The cut was not straight and no one was happy with that so I sent them out again to go and buy a proper steel saw and when they got it back it was such an improvement. They were able to cut things very much quicker, and also dead-square. By the end of the day they had cut all but one of the columns for this side of the roof and they did that in about an hour. So much faster!

| The sky was so clear tonight |
As I said this evening I went for dinner with Dincher. We had a lovely time sat out eating, drinking and chatting. Afterwards I walked home in the dark and tried to take some star photographs which look much better on my phone than here. Oh well.
So there you are; a good day indeed. Thanks for reading and back tomorrow.
