I do believe that my plastering skills are improving. The wall I plastered yesterday is drying out really well.
And today’s isn’t bad.
Thankfully, that’s the last of the plastering though.
Something for the weekend
The kitchen is progressing, although I’m not expecting it to be finished sometime soon.
While I was plastering my second in command was building a wood store.
From 100% recycled wood and all by herself.
When in our local for a well earned beer, I mentioned to Phil (barman, on a Thursday) that we have a new woodshed.
He very quickly made the connection with the Divine Comedy and found Something for the Weekend on Spotify.
It was with regret that I left.
Reflection
The Bridge Hotel. Newcastle.
Delivery
You know how it is when you want to nip out for a pint, but have to wait in for a delivery that you know isn’t going to arrive?
Kitchen
Time to start work on the kitchen.
Hector
My second in command wants a dog. We’ve decided to introduce one to our home on retirement. Well, it wouldn’t be fair on any creature to have to fit around our lifestyle. While the arrival of such a creature may be several years away, my second in command has already decided on a name. Hector. Apparently, she has fond memories of watching the children’s TV series, Hector’s House.
Durham
A very pleasant afternoon was spent in Durham yesterday. A visit to the Swan and Three Cygnets was compulsory, of course.
On leaving, there was something of a downpour, so it was necessary to take refuge in the Market Tavern. And the Head of Steam. And the Bridge Hotel.
And, since the rain hadn’t eased, there was a rather nice curry before the train.
Career path
Alas, my new career was short lived.
Which is a shame since I was a half decent zombie.
Sunflowers
This could possibly be our best our best ever purchase.
Cake on the Tyne
I’m currently sitting in the back bar of the Central. We’ve had a pleasant afternoon/evening in Town. And an important discovery was made – beer and cake are a great combination.
