Diary Blip (Wednesday 17th November 2021)

The builder and his team have finally finished and gone. Work began last Monday week and was scheduled to be finished by Friday, but with delays being blamed on getting hold of the plasterer it was actually completed at lunchtime today and included working through Saturday. The exterior work was remedial, but work in the porch (see Extra) and conservatory involved plastering the new ceiling and painting all the walls, with new colours on the outward facing walls.

Everything had to be removed from both rooms and stored around the house and outbuildings, already pretty full, so it was a disruptive week.

My next task is to get everything straight again, with some things being stored away in the loft instead of where they were before, so quite a lengthy process.

Note to self: replace porch lampshade (not considered an essential purchase during lockdowns).

The colour on the wall is 'Blue Baby' so I have picked this version of a then-new Bob Dylan song recorded here by the Belfast Gypsies on their album Them Belfast Gypsies, put together by some ex-members of Them after Van Morrison had left the group and resettled in America. He had recorded the song as a member of Them on the album Them Again. This version was used on a French EP with the band credited as Them in 1967
