Starting to cut tiles

Today has been a much more normal day, which is a relief as a person can have too much drama in their life.

The blocks are started to be delivered

The men were in on time and got started up on the roof terrace straight away, despite there being drizzle in the air. It remained damp and foggy for quite a lot of the day. First of all they swept and cleaned then chipped out the last of the old tiles. It is kind of sad to see the lovely blue sky tiles all gone but getting the roof sealed is far more important. By nearing the end of the day all the prep work was done and they were starting to cut the tiles for the edges and odd shapes, which is the slow part of the job. It had turned into an absolutely glorious day with stunning views from up there. Just as my work day was reaching an end the truck arrived bringing the first of the materials for the next job. I think it's going to be a bit unlikely this will get completed before the snows but we can try; if they can really crack on with the tiling (and I may ask if they want to work Saturday as well this week to get that done) there is a small chance. Rosie was awake just as the truck arrived so I stood out with her (she was in my arms when I took the picture) and she was grinning and loving watching it work.

Tables arrived so well packaged

Lovely sunset

I headed down to town with Rosie after this to collect four new tables from the courier, and then go to the shop. This was a lovely little trip. The sunset this evening was also stunning.

And there you have it; a normal day. So needed. Thanks for reading.
