We’re back at Adrian’s again, starting to rebuild the maisie. Yesterday was spent buying supplies, taking the rubbish generated last week to the tip and doing the preparations, then today the lads started to put up the ceiling, having first sealed off the leaking water pipes.

I spent yesterday cooking; soup, fish cakes, chilli, chocolate cake and carrot cake; so today I was given the afternoon off. It was another glorious day, so I sat on the terrace, playing my guitar, until the lads ran out of support rails and couldn’t complete the ceiling.

They decided to shoot seed pods and beer bottle lids, put on fence posts at the bottom of the garden. Somehow I got talked into having a go and managed to hit the seed pod both times!
