Even though it was Sunday today ...

... I've been working today. Yes, it does occasionally happen.

In this photo you can see the huge stack of wood that I treated with xylophene - the stuff that kills all of the nasty beasties.

In fact it didn't take all that long to do - not if you line all the bits up adjacent to each other and attack them with a paint roller soaked in the stuff (that's what the black container is for). All you do is to whallop the stuff on, turn the wood on its side and do the next side and then keep on going until all of the sides and all of the pieces are done.

Before that I was up a ladder repositioning a gutter mounting bracket and then taking down the mast for the wind turbine - that's going to be mounted elsewhere as you know. And I took the opportunity to hunt down a spare blade (and that wasn't easy either) to replace the one that broke a while ago.

Lieneke came around for a chat too - she's going to talk to Terry about some work. And once she had gone it was shower-time, and we aren't talking about OUSA either. 36°C the water was at 18;20 when I knocked off and so I took full advantage. After all, I missed the swimming baths yesterday.

This morning though I didn't do too much. After all it is Sunday. 2 telephone calls one after the other summoned me from my reverie at some ungodly hour "you mean 10:10" - ed and after breakfast I entered the stats onto the computer, something I hadn't done since March and there was a lot of catching up to do.

And talking of stats, on the 1st of July I started a new record book as the old one is now full. August 2007 I started keeping records and there were just four items that I recorded. Today there are about 35 entries that I need to make each evening. But filling the first book is definitely progress.
