In fact I&#8217;ve never been so popular than I seem to be just recently.<\/p>\n<p>I took the dolly round to Bill&#8217;s this morning and stopped for a coffee, where I was entertained by the Hound of the Baskervilles.<\/p>\n<p>After that, I finished off the rest of the tongue and grooving as you can see in the pic, if you shine a torch onto it.<\/p>\n<p>This afternoon, in between the phone calls, I started on the beading. I&#8217;ve done the corners of the 2 windows in the ceiling and I&#8217;ve started on the beading round the edges of the t&#038;g. But it&#8217;s not going half as far as I reckoned it would and I&#8217;ve nowhere near enough.<\/p>\n<p>And as the battery in the chopsaw went flat, I started the electric wiring at the stairwell end of the room, and just as I was getting into the throes of it, Bill and his neighbour appeared &#8211; they had brought back the dolly. So they had the guided tour too. I&#8217;ve had more visitors this last few weeks than I&#8217;ve had this last few years. Because I forgot to say &#8211; while I was round at Bill&#8217;s, Terry came round here.<\/p>\n<p>What with all of that, it was dark by the time they went and so I went to take the photo. But firstly, no memory card in the camera &#8211; so back downstairs for the card. And secondly, flat batteries in the camera &#8211; so back downstairs to get some fully-charged batteries. Hence it was dark by the time I&#8217;d got my pick.<\/p>\n<p>Last night it was -2.5 degrees and the water had started to freeze. In the heat exchanger it was -7 degrees. Winter is early this year. I reckon that tomorrow I&#8217;ll make a start installing the woodstove upstairs and get it running in.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-1095 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='1095' data-nonce='d413643ed0' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-1095 lc'>+2<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-1095 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='1095' data-nonce='d413643ed0' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-1095 unlc'>-3<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-1095 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But there&#8217;s a reason for that &#8211; and I blame my own popularity.
