Patio ready, balcony fans nearly done

 Another hot day here today, but today I got in the pool twice which was lovely.

Early morning before the sun rose

Edging stones at the bottom of the slope

The toilet pipe, covered with plastic pipe

The day started early again, before dawn, and Rosie was also awake early today. I was at my desk but managed to get away to play with her a bit before she headed for school Bekir and Halil arrived as Angela left with Rosie and they were into the tasks on the patio to complete before the cement. This included putting the edging stones we'd bought yesterday in place, fixing some final parts of the steal mesh and a few other areas that needed work, and finally Bekir put the plastic over the toilet waste pipe so if we need to replace or repair it we can without having to dig out the cement. First thing this morning I had great fun listening to the oriole singing in the front trees. There is a video above.

Chef Rosie and her lasagne

After lunch they came out onto the balcony and started working on the second fan. I had to escape for a little bit (I went into the pool) while they did the drilling through the metal and it was lovely to swim for a bit during the mid afternoon. Later on the fans were both mounted, and the first one was spun up which was nice. The cables have been run and the next task will be to fit the switches to the wall. It will be great to be able to run fans in here. Rosie helped Mummy make lasagne then after some play time we were into the pool again (and the neighbour's grandson joined us again which was lovely). The lasagne was really nice.
