A finishing up day

Today has been so unbelievably busy I wasn't able to get upstairs for many pictures at all however the men have cracked on through the day.

It turns out Bekir hadn't quite done all the wiring yesterday; he was putting in the cable for the landing on the stairs at first and then went to work on the junction box that will supply the bedroom. Halil was getting stuck in, as he does, first of all doing some more plastering to finish up above the stairs and then cleaning and tidying everything up from all the work they have done. Then he spotted some plastering he wasn't very pleased with and so did another skim on there. Meanwhile Bekir had finished the bedroom wiring and noticed that one of the big consumer units he had mounted yesterday was on upside down so he took it apart and rewired it. And that is that, we are now finished with the wiring and can start the stairwell walls tomorrow.

I noticed yesterday that our flags are starting to bloom which is always a lovely thing to see. I also today finally decided to go out for dinner, having not been in the mood for the past week. It was nice enough and mainly because I got to read some of my book.
