A bitty day today

 It's felt like a bitty day today, and I've been pretty busy with work as well, so I'm sat here wondering exactly what has been achieved; I hope the pictures I took tells me!

We got to play a game!

First of all to last night and Angela and I are once again making time for playing some games together; it's so good to get this regular again (and by regular I mean two weeks in a row!) I'm currently winning the game which we'll finish next week.

Raking, weeding and tidying up

Really low cloud

Looking nice, now it is all weeded

Halil tidies up around the place

Undercutting the path

I took Rosie to school this morning and when I got back the men were already in and getting started. They spent the first part of the day clearing away weeds, raking out lots of rubbish, and generally tidying up along the patio in preparation for the next step. Bekir also got the drill out and chiselled underneath the concrete path; this is so the cement can flow in underneath and it'll prevent weeds from breaking up through - very good thinking indeed. It was such a miserable day most of the day, with regular rain showers interrupting them during the morning. Really not ideal building weather.

It is quite unweildy

Puppies happy to be outside

In the afternoon Bekir and Halil ran out of wire so popped to the shop but mostly they were working on putting the grids down that are needed as the final step before the cement pour. The sun had come out (and it is now a lovely evening) and Rosie and Angela had a lot of fun on the balcony while I had to do a bit more work. The forecast for tomorrow is terrible but we shall see as while it was miserable today, it was not torrential; it's likely the forecast is again wrong. Thelma and Louise were very relieved that the weather lifted so they could get outside to play for a bit.

The men will be in either way as we have some inside tasks for them.

Thanks for reading.
