An inside out day

The weather has not been helpful to building work

Extremely hot with frequent thunderstorms has made progress on repairing the cistern, difficult.

A settled couple of days was forecast, so we took a day off work.

Settled means no thunderstorms to wash mortar away. But also means unpleasant heat to work in.

So we tried an early start.

3hrs work and back to bed at 9am.

It was hard getting up, but a beautiful morning and another row completed.
(That's row as in horizontal level, although the other did come in to it at one point when things came unstuck)

It worked so well we carried on doing it for the whole weekend.

And when the thunderstorms returned, it didn't matter, because most work had ceased by lunchtime.
(The storms have always been mid afternoon.)
It seems we might be falling in to an afternoon siesta lifestyle.

Pusties approve!

Storm clouds on the horizon!
