Surrounded by Ladders

Started cement rendering the outside walls of the "North Wing". I did two mixes in the hot sun, and Mike worked in the shade of the building until we decided it would be wise to stop. It's gone 10pm, and still 35C (95F); think it went up to almost 40C and getting hotter over the next few days.

Gratefuls:
- good FT chats with all three of our kids
- Netty and the girls arriving from NY safely
- Oriane of the Wagon Family sending photos of their new wagon

And, what does the edge of the wine in your glass have in common with the cartilage round your knee??
