Hello and welcome to the update for today, Wednesday and hump day as we begin the slide down towards the weekend.

The day dawned much cooler than previously, definitely with an autumnal chill in the air, and with lots of black clouds over the back of the land towards the north. We spent some time on the balcony before breakfast, after watering the plants, then Angela went out with Rosie to the clinic and I went to work while the workmen got stuck in with their jobs (Halil was back again today) with Sally starting to repair the ceiling while Halil supported and did some wall repairs and Bekir worked on the electrics. Sally spent all day working up the scaffold putting cement onto the ceiling and it is a slow and difficult job as the ceiling is wobbly and uneven and he cannot get into an easy rhythm of work. Bekir for his part finished the tasks on the top corridor and went down to keep working on the electrics in the library, wiring up the lights to the switch so now we have working lights in there; he also tripped the main power about ten times which caused outrage for Rosie when her one and only TV show time was interrupted, and left me happy with my UPS purchase as it kept everything safe and running when the power kept flickering.

Just before the men left we finally had our delivery of 5 cube of oak for winter so that's a task now for the next few days. Sally had been grinding away on the roof, a thankless task indeed, and Halil was sweeping and cleaning up after the messy jobs that had been worked on today. Just now after dinner I went out and started sorting some of the wood into "needs splitting more" and "OK to stack" as hopefully Hikmet will be back tomorrow and will be able to get stuck in to this task for us. The sunset was gorgeous again and I had to go onto the roof terrace for the picture.
So there you are; another day done. Back tomorrow.
