A bit of a groundhog day today. Not that we are complaining. Susan continued up the wall with her tiling around the bath. Susan can cut these tiles in the tile cutter since they are of lighter construction. I continued on the steps. The last upright was fitted and i started putting the rails on. The rails are of planed hardwood so I decided I better sand the top rail to reduce the splinter size. I think I will get kicked out of the wood artisans association if anybody saw me using a belt sander with 40 grit. It is quick though!
After an extended lunch break Susan returned to the tiling while I washed the car. It was covered in dust from the driveway. I shall now drive at very low speed until we leave.
I made the mistake of trying to open my Lindt chocolate the one with the little cubes filled with liquid. It had melted and most of it ended up on my shirt. A quick trip to town to replace was unsuccessful since it is now off special. However strawberries were 42c for 250grams in Woolies so I bought several to share for tea.
Today's laugh was when Des asked Irene to taste his hot drink tonight because he thought that the powdered milk in the hot chocolate had gone off. Turns out he had made it with gravox! Susan asked how much he had drunk. He replied it was almost finished. Reminds me of a similar story at The Guv when they sprinkled the dessert with sodium bicarb instead of icing sugar and one person had eaten 3/4 already and not noticed
That's your lot for today. I neglected picture taking so you will have to make do with some taken by our recent NZ helpxers Nikki and Hannah.
