As I have said before,I&#8217;m quite impressed with it. <\/p>\n<p>The part that I have built up is the part that has been pointed. The unpointed part is what remained after it fell down, and that will be pointed in early course. It depends how the weather holds out after I finish the house wall (yes, that&#8217;s the next task).<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it occurs to me that the best way to judge how much work that I&#8217;ve done on the wall is to look <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/foto2010\/1007096.jpg\">at this photo<\/a> to see what it looked like last year before I started in earnest.<br clear=\"both\"><\/p>\n<p>So this morning I started on the web site again but not for long as Terry came round. He&#8217;d been working at Lieneke&#8217;s. It&#8217;s nice to see good friends and have a good chat about this and that, for a change.<\/p>\n<p>This afternoon, I packed up an export order of bits and pieces &#8211; yes folks, my first export order. How about that? We are making progress all the time, which is very nice to see, and very welcome too. and once that was dealt with, seeing as how the weather wasn&#8217;t so good, I&#8217;ve started breaking the concrete food trough in the ground floor of the lean-to, as that&#8217;s where the wall that will support the steps will be. <\/p>\n<p>Mind you, the steps won&#8217;t be there for long as I have a cunning plan about that.<\/p>\n<p> But the concrete is tough there &#8211; it&#8217;s reinforced and armour-plated by the looks of things. I&#8217;ve broken the shafts on two sledgehammers, flattened two batteries on the SDS drill, and chipped about a hatful off with the pick-axe. I&#8217;m on the lookout for some dynamite now.<\/p>\n<p>As for the frog that I told you about the other night, well thanks to Krys (and how nice it is to see you again), the frog now has steps in and out of the plant trough. He&#8217;ll probably fall in somewhere else now.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>And the temperature? 1.8\u00b0C at the moment. Winter is acumen in.
