We were recording again today

This time it was for the programmes for Radio Tartasse - the next lot of four-weekly programmes to take them up to the end of February. Luckily I don't have too far to travel because it's an early start in the morning, like ... errrr ... 10:00.

This time we were allowed to do the programmes how we wanted to do them, and it went much better. Liz and I have a very good rapport and much of our stuff is done as ad-libs and you can't do that if you are having to concentrate on pages of script. And they have also agreed to let us have copies of the recorded programmes so that I can stick them on our blog when I have the time and I'm not so tired. But that will come - you can be assured of that.

And so back here, and carrying on with my ceiling. and that's what I did for most of the rest of the day such as it was. And I'm making good progress too. It won't be all that long before it's done. BUt it went dark at about 17:00 - at least too dark to work on the ceiling, and so I had an hour or so outside doing a little more clearing up. And slowly but surely it's looking a little (but only a little) more respectable out here. But the weather has turned. It clouded right over and it's gone cold. I even have had the heating on a little earlier this evening. But not that that worries me. Now that the weeds and brambles are dying down I'm uncovering a few of the old chevrons that we ripped off the barn roof and threw down to the floor. It's all more firewood for the stove.
