… early retirement, this morning I was up with the cock.<\/p>\n

But that’s more than enough about my personal habits. <\/p>\n

I was up quite early and when Liz phoned me to make sure that I was awake, I was already tucking into breakfast.<\/p>\n

At Radio Tartasse in Marcillat we did our programmes for the month of November and after a coffee together I came back home.<\/p>\n

Working on the website again followed by lunch, and then I took some more roofing sheets off the lean-to and replaced them with a tarp. I also put something underneath the floor of the upper part of the lean-to to prevent any water that might infiltrate from falling on the washing machine that’s underneath.<\/p>\n

After all of that I put up the ladder and started on chiselling out the old mortar at the top of the house wall.<\/p>\n

However I wasn’t up there for too long. The wind sprang up again quite violently and then we had a huge black weather front that dumped 5 mms of rain everywhere. That wasn’t very good, and I left the wall to itself with all of that, thinking to myself what a good idea it was to protect the washing machine like that.<\/p>\n

\"pointing<\/a>What I did instead was to go inside the lean-to and point some more of the inside of the wall that I had built up a short while ago. <\/p>\n

It needs to be done some time or other and there’s no time like the present. Having something to do under cover when the weather is bad outside is always handy.<\/p>\n

If you’ve looked at some of the earlier photos, like this one for example<\/a> you’ll see the difference in this pic, particularly on the left side of the wall. You might have also noticed a hole in the wall as well in the left side of the back wall. That’s gone too now, all filled up with stones and properly cemented in. <\/p>\n

And that was something that I was keen to do, especially with winter on the way. I don’t want the frost to get into it any more than it already has done
<\/p>\n

Tonight I finished off Liz’s vegan casserole and had some of her vegan chocolate cake. Isn’t it nice to have good friends? \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
