…is happening here?<\/p>\n

Yes, it’s absolutely ages before midnight and here I am blogging already.<\/p>\n

What on earth is going on? <\/p>\n

The fact is that I’m absolutely whacked. Three nights without much sleep have finished me off and I shall be in the arms of Morpheus before much longer. <\/p>\n

But I dunno why I’m having these sleep issues. I know that I habitually keep late hours but what has been going on just recently is absurd.<\/p>\n

\"moving<\/a>This afternoon I carried on with moving the cattle trough in the lean-to. Here is a photo of how it looked after I’d been bashing away at it for an hour or two the other week. <\/p>\n

What it looks like now is something else completely thanks to Terry lending me a concrete cutting disk and a huge sledgehammer yesterday. <\/p>\n

They made quite short work of the bit that I can get to, and the rest of it will have to be done when I can get to it.
<\/p>\n

I did say that once I’d done that I would be starting on the pointing of the wall. However we’ve had a howling gale here today with winds gusting up to 20mph. I know that that isn’t particularly fast but if anyone thinks that I’ll be standing on top of a ladder 10 metres or so above ground in a wind like that then they are mistaken. <\/p>\n

According to one of the litttle-used functions on the anemometer, we had 20:42 hours of wind in the last 24 hours and that is quite phenomenal. The wind turbines have been earning their keep today.<\/p>\n

What I did do instead was to make a start on the framework that I’ll be using to make the dividing wall in there. That involved cutting up a few chevrons and shaping them,and cutting lets into the rafters of the ceiling in the lean-to. <\/p>\n

And while I was doing that, the wind dramatically dropped. “Time for me to go and get the ladder out and make a start on the wall” you are probably thinking. But “not bloody likely”, as Eliza Doolittle once famously said, because we had a torrential downpour and it’s still raining now.<\/p>\n

Instead, I did some tidying up and sorting out until knocking off time at 19:00 (I’m still on summer hours).<\/p>\n

Seeing as I’m still on summer hours, this morning I was working on the website and I’ve put on line the reports for the 1st XI<\/a> and 2nd XI<\/a> matches from this weekend. <\/p>\n

But Saturday night’s photos haven’t worked at all and I’m going to have to spend money on a decent lens to take better photos in the dark.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow Liz and I are radioing, at Radio Tartasse. I wonder if I will have woken up by then.<\/p>\n

Good night, everybody.<\/p>\n
