Unexpected action

Roofers turned up this morning to carry out some repairs on the derelict shed nearest the main building. This is a quick fix to prevent water running down the wall between the shed and the building. I wasn't expecting anyone to turn up since this is a public holiday.

I'm off to Edinburgh today and Paisley/Glasgow tomorrow to pick up some more Andechs beer and take some stuff to our store in Paisley. L will be left minding the shop for the moment. The blacksmiths will be back tomorrow, D**** will be here on Wednesday.

The painter's estimate arrived - how we laughed. So my trip to Edinburgh will include a visit to B&Q to get some paint samples.

With the builders skip out the back we decided to have a grand throw-out this morning. Old tellies, microwaves and unwanted junk have been unceremonially dumped in the skip.
