There seems to be a lack of white.....

......here it is.

First day back to work for Nancy and I breakfasted with her in solidarity at 6am. She was gone by 6.30am and I was left wondering why I was awake at 6.30am. Fortunately, the newspaper arrived early and I chewed over my toast and the headlines before preparing for the day ahead. 

The architect and the heating engineer arrived as arranged and we walked through our plans for the heating, electrics, interior and exterior alterations.  It went smoothly, but these early scope meetings rarely spotlight risks, which will materialise as issues in the build. Co-ordination and communication will be our biggest challenges (it was ever thus). 

More cycling on the spot in the garage and then a walk around the village marches to direct some fresh air into my lungs and sunshine on to my face. Splendid. 

Then I assembled a new saw horse (for chainsaw work) before heading indoors to make soup from the left over cheese and broccoli. 

Is it really the middle of the week?
