    Is he working away, looking fit and building up a little sheen of sweat?! Perhaps you will need another little break from the macputer in a minute ;)

    Hmm, he does not look hot in his DIY gear....


    Here you are....

    It's like a budget sci fi meets fleece explosion. He is sweaty, but also dirty, so nah, wouldn't say ATM I am desperate to get him to stop working, lol. Besides which, the room is now a tip and grubby...so I feel less motivated to get 'down and dirty' than I do to get cleaning.

    There is the most magical light here this evening. It's barely pink and rather peach and softly gold as evening draws in. If anyone else has good skies have a look, they are lovely tonight.

    We've got exactly the same. Unbelievable light. Most weird. I just went outside and nearly got "mowed down" by a small robin swooping and chasing a tiny bat. They then both landed on the lawn apart.

    I'm absolutely kn4ckered/ Slept most of today, just woke up and I'm super-groggy and don't have the energy to go and get an indian (a treat I kind of told myself I'd get).

    This work malarkey's not good is it :)

    Pn, I was thinking it must be beautiful over the sea. :). Shame I could not capture that amazing quality of light.

    Lol. No they seemed to come on late. They still go off at midnight.

    Dh is getting quicker now, at the other end of the hous ethe rafters are more regular, thank goodness.

    Should have the first layer in today after all.

    He just found a small skeleton up there. Dh wants to keep it as a curio.

    I am toying with the almost unprecedented idea of indian food delivery. Have to order way too much to meet the minimum order requirement.... but it would mean I don't have to get dressed, go out, try to find a parking space, walk 1/4 of a mile and stand in the shop and wait :) I couldn't phone ahead as I wouldn't know what parking was like/available until close by.

    Edit: No ... can't bring myself to do that .... might just have to find the inner strength to go and get it in 1-2 hours' time :(
