… an early start this morning.<\/p>\n

I was awake for much of the night with had another bad attack of cramp and that wore me out. So it was 09:00 when I finally rose out of my pit.<\/p>\n

We did the usual bit working on the website and then for the rest of the day I was outside.<\/p>\n

We had a few minutes on the wall with the SDS drill but the day wasn’t really bright enough to run that for any length of time and so I fixed the solar water heater instead. You may remember me saying that the tank fell down on my head yesterday afternoon while I was having a shower.<\/p>\n

\"lean<\/a>This afternoon I was working on the wall again. <\/p>\n

Long-term readers of this rubbish will remember that the other two walls that I built, I erected stones in the vertical position at the outside and inside, and filled in between with a very lightweight concrete – a kind-of concrete wall with stone cladding. <\/p>\n

Anyway, that’s what I’m doing here with this wall now.<\/p>\n

Part of the wall had been built with very light breeze blocks – real cinder blocks even – so I’m smashing those one-by-one to use as the infill and then pouring concrete over the pieces to hold them in. <\/p>\n

It will be a lightweight wall, but it won’t ‘arf have some strength.<\/p>\n

I’ve made quite a lot of progress and I reckon that given a good day on there tomorrow I shall have about half of the wall finished.
<\/p>\n

All I’ll have to do then is to point it, of course.<\/p>\n
