I went downstairs this morning ...

... and found a mouse dying in the kitchen! My cooking isn't that bad, you know. Anyway, I heaved it outside to join into the food chain and waited for Terry. He had gone off on a tour of sawmills to find some wood for these tiles so I carried on with some weeding.

When Terry turned up he didn't have the wood because it's no longer sold. Apparently it's a fire risk but having seen last year how quickly ordinary household products catch fire some kind of fire restriction is totally unnecessary.

We started to cut the laths and voltige to cover this roof and made a start on fitting the tiles. With good weather we could have fixed them all on but it was not to be. We were having rainstorms every 10 minutes and they kept on driving us off the roof into shelter.

After Terry went home I sowed some more beans and peas and that really was my day. Tomorrow is shopping, Sunday is rest and then we are back at it on Monday.
