Plastering and Storms

Today started very much too early as Rosie woke me at 3:15am and I couldn't get back over so I just got out of bed and started work. I am now exhausted.

We only had Bekir again today and first thing he helped to lift the frames over and get them situated in the raised beds so tomorrow Angela can plant out the seedlings that will be growing up these frames. After this he was into the roof and plastering pretty much all day. He tidied up a lot of what Halil had done including scraping and putting another coat over the walls by the double doors, and then tidying the tops of the corridor walls which had been filled last week. I got a few minutes to head up and tidy the Christmas stuff that had just been brought up on the weekend and it fits in really well.

As has been the case the past week or so we had a lovely sunny day until about 3:30 when the clouds rushed in and the thunder rattled the windows. This time the rain was truly torrential and we had a fair few blasts of hail; thank goodness for the car port! After it had passed the hills across from us were literally white with the hailstones.

So there you are. I'll be back tomorrow so until then, and thanks for reading.
