...contd....

Other than having lunch with Bev and Nigel at Sahara restaurant, it was mostly an 'at home' kind of day - indoors with doors closed watching Netflix to shut out the noise of angle grinder and drill as the chaps continued yesterday's work. Excellent progress though  and the verandah is now finished. It looks fine and will give much needed shade so that I can sit on the terrace in the mornings without cooking in factor 50. Garden work will take a little longer, but the noisy work is now complete. 

By this evening I am reluctantly having to accept that the throat and nose tickles in combination with impressive bouts of sneezing today are blossoming into a cold - and this less than two days since I said I never get colds here.
