Plastering, mainly

Today will be a far shorter update than yesterday, thankfully, as I'm once again late to start as we continue our Lord of the Rings marathon. Let's get to it.

I'll start with Rosie and her little friend walking and skipping into school together this morning when I dropped them off. How epic is that!

The men were once again in and on time and set to in the cupboard under the stairs to continue getting it finished. Bekir was working on filling the gap above the door (as he'd made the gap bigger than we told the window people, so the door would definitely fit) while Halil carried on plastering around the walls. After lunch we went out and all looked at unblocking the toilet and finally, using both Halil's compressor to blow air through and my cleaning tool from the pump end, we got it flushing again. I'm sure it will block again soon however as there seems to still be a problem in there however I've now ordered a much longer cleaning tool which should help us to get it unblocked. I hope. The afternoon was more plastering and the entire thing has been done now. Bekir had to do the really low section as Halil couldn't fit down there!

After school I went into the garden with Rosie to check on Sammy, who is still hanging around and Rosie put a new head on her, while Xena and Dutch played around us. Then we went and did some swinging before it was time to go inside and watch Lord of the Rings.

And there it is. Another day done, we'll be back tomorrow. Thanks for reading.
