God I'm knackered.
The day didn't start well. My Mac refused to boot because I'd got it too damp yesterday when I used a foam cleaner to clean it. It's a bit better now but half the keys still don't work. I'm typing this with an on-screen keyboard. It is very tedious. I hope it sorts itself out.
Anyway, I was expecting 45 boards today and a lorry turned up at 8.30, but there were only 28. The rest are coming tomorrow, apparently. I was a bit miffed because no-one had said anything about that, but right now I'm delighted.
We started carrying them between two of us. Of course, Ray could manage one under each arm , one in his teeth whilst balancing a fourth on his head, but we mere mortals struggled a bit. These are 3m boards, 15mm thick and it was blowing a gale. So Ray did something else, I forget what, whilst Terry, Julian and I carried them down, in between the very heavy showers. Even with 3 of us they were quite heavy enough.
Tomorrow there will be just Ray and me
Anyway this what we have achieved.
This is all the waste we have and the larger pieces will fit by the doors.
The only casualty today was my shirt. I snagged it on the fence and ripped the sleeve It's an old shirt but my favourite. My sartorial elegance has been compromised.
I hope my keyboard recovers, this is a right pain in the nethers. No space bar, comma, backspace or return key, amongst others. I did put it in the oven as low as it would go for a couple of hours. I think it might need a bit longer.
