Gosh, going home to UK in five days. No wonder he is stressed. We have to lay 25m square terratzzio tiles. Grout and seal them. Looks like motorhome maintainance isn't happening today. What else is missing today is the sunshine. After weeks of dry weather its raining, and not just a little. This complicates the job immensely. For one thing it's a bit dark, no lights in there yet. For another the tile cutter is electric, but also sprays dirty water. Needs a suitable location. Ends up just inside the barn, of course he now has to carry the huge heavy tiles to it. With his sore shoulders and twingy back, thats not good. Am amazed how he manages to cheerfully keep going. Also not good, the barn has a dirt floor, so soon we will be paddling in mud. The kitchen units have been stored in there. The columbage construction means it's very dusty, so they all need cleaning, well, secondhand they all needed that anyway, but again best not done on a dirt floor.
MrSlim is making heavy weather with the tiles, it's looking like a four day job at current rate of progress. Maybe once he is confident in this system it will be faster.
Breakfast: large handful of nuts, avocado and 2 egg omelette. Still on the lemon and ginger tea.
Coffee time, had two biscuits with my lg tea 11g carbs.
Lunch: smoked salmon, found a bargain pack, bit of baguette, salad. Lump of emmental to keep the calories up.
Mid afternoon
Smaller piece of emmental, a plain biscuit and two more of the choc ones from this morning. Silly thing is, they are not very nice, so why eat them?
More kitchen units cleaned, we seem to have an endless supply of them.
6.pm Rain has stopped. MrSlim has had enough of tiling. (Think it's probably back, shoulder and knees. Am feeling similarly about kitchen units. Without any real excuse.
Dinner is going to be a frozen lasagne, will take 55 mins to cook. So getting on with the pickled walnuts. Prod them all again, discard any hard ones. only five. Simner and boil the jars, no time for a shower now.
MrSlim, does the veg, carrots and green beans, think he is getting desperate for dinner. After all it is nearly 9pm.
Have six jars of pickled walnuts. Retrieve my dinner fron the oven, where it was keeping warm. Should really do Bg as its a new meal, but hey, now it's nearly 10pm, hope to be in bed before two hours.
So now huge pile of washing up. Eyes streaming from simmering vinegar.
