… I did hear the alarm clock go off this morning. <\/p>\n

But I also heard the rain teeming down on the roof and on the windows and so I thought “badger that for a game of cowboys” and stuck my head back down under the quilt.<\/p>\n

I did eventually rise up out of my stinking pit – and what a beautiful night’s sleep that was – and after breakfast attacked the footy website until 12:30.<\/p>\n

By then the rain had subsided and so the first job was to repair the wheelbarrow that had been out of commission since 2008. A new inner tube that I had bought in Cheze the other weeek and, much to my surprise, I could lay my hands on my tyre levers straight away without even having to look for them. <\/p>\n

The Ryobi One-plus air compressor that I bought in Detroit in 2010 did the business and with a length of stud-iron I rigged up an impromptu axle and that was that all fixed up.<\/p>\n

While I was having lunch the heavens opened and so, for the first time in probably 6 months or something, I worked inside, in the little cupboard that I’m making at the back of the stairs. <\/p>\n

I gave the plastering over the joints of the plasterboard a good sanding down and they are ready to paint now.<\/p>\n

\"wood<\/a>>But then the rain stopped again and so back outside, <\/p>\n

I ripped up the terracing that I had laid out a couple of months ago using a couple of old pallets, and I used those pallets as a base for the extension to the woodshed. <\/p>\n

And from then (about 16:00 until all of 19:30) I unloaded Caliburn of all of the wood. <\/p>\n

There’s about 4m\u00b2 of wood altogether in the pile, and I bet that Aunt Ada Doom could find something narsty in that lot.<\/p>\n

But the woodshed isn’t half impressive and there’s room for plenty more under there if I put my mind to it.
<\/p>\n

At least, under normal circumstances, there’s enough wood here keep me warm for a couple of winters. And if this rain keeps up, because it’s pelting down again, I’ll be needing it sooner than I might think.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Yes, it’s amazing what you can make out of old pallets and a few sheets of corrugated iron <\/p>\n
