12:30 am and still 30\u00b0C up here in my attic. I shan’t be sleeping much tonight.<\/p>\n

In fact it was so warm up here this morning that I breakfasted yet again with the fan working. And I needed it too.<\/p>\n

And then off to pick up Liz for our Radio Anglais sessions for Radio Tartasse in Marcillat en Combraille, and we melted there too.<\/p>\n

Back home later, I was on the computer again in the attic and in the heat, and apparently the weather is going to break tomorrow afternoon. So cue some washing. <\/p>\n

That I did while I was lunching – lovely hot water at 62\u00b0C in the home-made 12 volt immersion heater – that should get everything clean, and I’m glad that it’s all done. I’ll just have to remember to take it in when the weather threatens.<\/p>\n

Now that I have a big load of sand and a pile of stones, no reason why I shouldn’t be attacking the wall. But first, I forgot about the load of stones in the house and so I spent half an hour pulling a pile of suitable stuff from out of there.<\/p>\n

I’ve also found another load of stuff that was buried in there – including the missing box of 4×40 screws. And how long have I been looking for those?<\/p>\n

\"lean<\/a>But eventually I was back up the ladder and back on the wall and after a couple of hours or so outside, the wall is now built up (at the outside, at least) to the level of the window sill.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the outside is almost filled up to the framework of the window on the right-hand side. Tomorrow will, with a bit of luck and if the weather holds out, see me finishing off that part of the wall if I can put in a good shift.
<\/p>\n

But then, I’m not so sure. I’ve promised someone that I would do something tomorrow, and I’ve no idea what it was now. So apologies in advance if I’ve forgotten anything. <\/p>\n

And maybe I’ll receive a reminding phone call, in which case I’ll be doing something different.<\/p>\n
