Not much to report this week. I have moved the tree stumps to the rubbish corner. We also finished the gib stopping on the inside. On Wednesday we had a visit from a South African friend and her Kiwi daughter. It was so cold we had to put a heater on (16 deg). We had a lovely time though. We appreciate all visits immensely, it just serves to strengthen us in our resolve to do the impossible with no money.

We moved the sheep into a moveable pen which we completed. They don't like it, but the grass get cut. I also cut some grass on our "front lawn" where the sheep has been. Slowly but surely we are making some progress!!

On Thursday and Friday I had to be in Hamilton and not much was done on the house. We did clean some of the polish off the floorboards in the new lounge though, but it a very slow job. We used methylated spirits.

Monday is Labour day, but it will not affect us much. Tonight it is the AB's against France. Fingers crossed!!!!
