I think that this was a really good purchase.<\/p>\n<p>So Rosemary came round for her lesson in pointing and to be frank I think that we spent more time gossiping than working. Nevertheless, she made a reasonable mix and managed two bucketfuls into the wall with a finish that wasn&#8217;t too bad at all.<\/p>\n<p>However, I think that she understands that it takes longer than one might think, until you&#8217;ve been doing it for a while anyway.<\/p>\n<p>One thing though for which I&#8217;m glad that she was here was that I had to change the wires over on the wind turbine. <\/p>\n<p>That involved lying a ladder on the roof (at an angle of course) and then slotting another ladder into the space between the rungs and up the wall so that I could climb up on it. <\/p>\n<p>Not for the faint-hearted, that but I couldn&#8217;t think of another way to do it. I needed an assistant for that as who knows what might happen when I&#8217;m on my own.<\/p>\n<p>And bravo too, for her being only ever the third person to be brave enough to use the composting toilet.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, that&#8217;s that. I&#8217;ll have an early night and then attack the wall in earnest tomorrow. The quicker I start, the quicker I&#8217;ll finish.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-133 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='133' data-nonce='735c0713c9' 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-133 lc'>+3<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-133 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='133' data-nonce='735c0713c9' 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-133 unlc'>-1<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-133 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; I was up before the alarm went off.
