More on the floor

It's been a few days since the last update as the men weren't in yesterday; let's get the weekend and that out of the way before seeing what progress was made today.

Saturday was a glorious sunny day, as was Sunday and yesterday actually, and Rosie and I went into town for a quick trip to pick up a new clothes basket and a few tools for me and then we had a lovely talk with Grandma and my sister. After a rest it was time to go outside and play with trikes and digging tools . All in all a lovely day with plenty of it spent outside. Sunday Angela got stuck into removing all the decorations in the living room and I helped a bit, as did Rosie. We also got more time outside with the police car and Rosie and I played some hide and seek and had a lovely stroll around the garden. Rosie also fed the chickens. Rosie was back to school on Monday and she received a gift for one of the other kid's birthday - a pen and pad and she is LOVING it. She's starting to learn how to hold a pen correctly, and is filling the book with lots of writing. Very cool to see.

The weather changed dramatically over night and it rained heavily and today it has been raining and very windy - still no snow and it's warm; this winter is just not right. The men were in today, however, and first off they ran the power across from one side of the new room to the other, for the power points I want up there. then Bekir fitted a temporary tap onto our water tank so they could use a hose from there rather than bringing it up from outside; smart. Finally it was a lot of mixing of cement and spreading as they worked to finish the floor in the new room. It was a good day of progress and I can't wait to get up there tomorrow when the cement has gone off to check it out. I still need to work out the lights I want up there though.

So there it is; the day is done. Thanks for reading and I'll be back tomorrow.
