Today has been, mostly, been spent plastering the newly joined ceiling. I’d managed a first full coat before Germany, but I was a little over ambitious and attempted the whole ceiling. 

I’m a slow plasterer and it’s a large ceiling, so a full coat of plaster in a single day was never going to be fun. It took me six hours and the result was rougher than I’d hoped for, but it was only intended to be a first coat to join the two ceilings together. 

So, today, I felt it wise to split the job into segments. With a better outcome. 

The picture’s fuzzy, but I’m quite happy with the second coat. That’s a quarter of the ceiling done, with part two tomorrow.

Yesterday was more pleasant, with a walk along the Tyne.
