A dreich day today which saw me on my bi-weekly trip to the cash and carry at Galashiels. The Eildon hills were barely visible due to low cloud and the rain was falling steadily by the time I got to Gala.

The decor in the ladies' toilet had reached a state that required immediate attention, so there was an additional stop at B&Q for some damp repelling paint and new mirror, shelf and light. I also got a new tv for room 9 with a built in DVD player. Meanwhile, Lorna was engaged in re-plastering a portion of the wall. This'll be finished tomorrow and then the whole lot can be painted and the new fittings attached. We're going for a relatively quick fix at the moment since the location of the ladies' will be changing eventually.

The supervisor for stage 1/3 of the refurbishment project will be arriving tomorrow and staying until Thursday. Then he'll be here pretty much continually until the work's done.

Pics of the music session will be ready tomorrow.
