What is it that they say ? The closer you get to finishing a job, the longer it takes!
Every week we think we are finished. Today men arrived. Materials arrived. (Many a day has passed when there has been one or t'other but never both.) After two men for one hour did some work this morning they were off: "We have not got our tools. They were taken by a friend."
Hey-ho! It is the beginning of a 3 day weekend. I am not holding my breath when they say "Back tomorrow!"

Meanwhile, here is Himself laying out the drills for planting potatoes in the back garden. The previous owner had it has a potato patch and after much de-compacting - after Davie's digger compacted it in the garage excavation - Iain has it prepared for planting.
There is probably one day's work for 3 plastereres left to do. They are Polish lads and show good workmanship. While we wait for their return equipment and mess are everywhere! Our neighbours are still talking to us but, as we all agree, it is long past time this job was finished!
