Sunday June 24th - Wallowing in the mudbath

Another half-days desultory block-laying in incessant rain. Where the hell is it all coming from? We had Mal's 4-year-old Boston helping us. The little soul battered away quite happily for four hours without a murmur or complaint while Mal and I quietly fumed and cursed the rain. Mal brought the centre wall to five courses while I constructed the piers for the support posts.

Wet, wet, wet, and forecast to continue raining until at least Thursday. Still, at least we've kept more-or-less to schedule and can have the digger in tomorrow to do the backfill before the infill concrete comes on Tuesday. Who knows, we might even start the carpentry on Wednesday.

Michelle still showing little progress in hospital, so Mal's input is going to be limited for the foreseeable future.
