… didn’t improve too much today, but at least it didn’t rain and there was plenty of blue sky. I even have some hot water in the 12-volt immersion heater that uses the excess solar charge.<\/p>\n
The day started as it meant to go on, with me dropping my breakfast all over the floor downstairs. That was rather a shame.<\/p>\n
And I didn’t go outside until after lunch either. I was working on the website as usual and then became sidetracked in some research that I had been doing and which ended up with me having to rewrite a pile of stuff that I had just written.<\/p>\n
Back outside, I finished off digging all of the roots out of the back wall of the house and it looks pretty good there, although it took ages to do that. Next task was to start to chisel off a pile of loose cement from the rear wall, and that wasn’t a job of five minutes either.<\/p>\n
By 17:00 I was ready and so I mixed up a pile of lime mortar. Two big buckets went into the wall where I’d chiseled off the cement and pulled out the roots. I’m about one third of the way along. Three or four more big buckets might do the trick next time that I’m out there.<\/p>\n
And I finished bang on 19:00 too. That was good timing.<\/p>\n
