	Sunset last night..... I was still contemplating giving the bootfairs a miss after the last few weeks. Woke at 04.00 and dozed till 05.40 then got up, made Sally a coffee as she stayed over after dinner and a glass of wine...... Then headed out by 06.10 First blood went to Craig who is away camping with the family at the coast. £3.00 and the seller would not budge. Seems it is a bit rare, I certainly never saw one before. Next up was this, like new, balance bike for Sally’s grandson. At £2.00 it has to be a bit of a bargain. My last purchase, a vintage Red bulkhead light was a bit of a bargain at 50p Really like it. Then some rubber and fabric gloves at 50p/pair. Got 12 pairs for £5.00 And my winner for the day. A guy selling everything in lots of £1.00 per item...... A plastic box with 12 nylon trolley castor wheels..... half of them braked, half fee running, and also in the box an air driven drill chuck with chuck key, perfect for tungsten carbide tipped bits to use when filing down welds or reaming holes. So after wanting to walk away from bootfairs, they redeemed themselves again today. Now back to block paving.

Fair enough. And to be honest, my primary lodger, the male psychiatric nurse’s bedroom looks like a tip. Remember his car with the ductape repairs I made, is an indication of his standards.

	Quicky before work starts in earnest. Saturday. No going back. Prep Added two wheelbarrow loads of sand to exposed areas to get levels back to where I wanted them. Starting with the easy part..... Border. That was it. I needed to spend time with Sally who never complains. Sunday update later. .

	So Sunday Bootfair delivered very well, depending on what you needed. Facebook Marketplace also came up with these two chunks of steel. £20.00 for the two. Having an industrial welder for a lodger...... priceless. Galaxy doing it’s thing. So back to the job in hand. When paving with different thickness stones, it adds to the magic. Started on one end. I never wear hats or caps, but the sun was hot. Takes time The sun, and not sleeping well and many other excuses, eventually caught up with me and I sat down to rest, just when Sally came back from her home. So I started again, but she could see I was losing the will to live, and starting to hurt. So she said that if I levelled the sand and told her what to do, she would pack the now thicker blocks for me..... She can also fold in half while standing straight up, unlike me, who has to go on my knees as my back is so knackered We called it a day by 5.15 and closed shop and cleaned up. Went indoors where I had a few beers to rehidrate and she left to go cook her uncles meals for the week, and prepare for Monday getting back to work. After she left, I went down to the garage again and started to fit in the small cut triangular sections down the side by the hedge. Not easy sitting still by 7.00pm, way too early. Much better . Also got offered an 8 year old cat looking for a home. Called Kitty....... I thought many other names would be more descriptive Tempting. I asked a few questions. Got some answers. Also realised, the cat was there long before the dog. WHY do people dump animals when they get bored or a newer one comes in. Tempted, but the road outside is a fast, dangerous road. We got lucky with all our three rescue cats surviving to full ages ranging between 17.5 and 16 years. Sweet dumb Dukey, got caught twice when we tried to capture a terrorising feral cat that came indoors to create havoc. No introduction needed. Missed many days, she would have loved all this building work. And Granny Tabitha who made 17.5 years. So the question is, would Lucifer survive here, would she/he be happy here (I think so) Would it screw up my life more than I want it to be. .

	Just remember they are trying to get rid of the cat so might be an optimistic view, some of our freinds were after a rescue dog, dogs home said it's a nice dog who needs a strong owner, oh and she mouths a little bit. when they went to look at it, a large Alsatian it's mouthing was basically trying to tear chunks out of anybody who came near it and when pressed they did admit it had been to half a dozen people who had all returned it already! think the sort of dog you used to see on 10 feet of chain in scrapyards. They got a greyhound in the end lovely docile thing.

	So Monday I actually took an hours “lunch break” and went to carryon for a bit moreof the cutting in. Amazing how little you get done in an hour. Then after work by 5.00pm I was out there again. Loads of small complex cuts, trimming etc to do saw me progressing. Hated the job by this point. Had already unloaded the compacter from its wheelbarrow earlier so started it up. First pull it fired up. What a pleasure. Some serious compacting to get it all blended and the stones set before sanding the joints. One spot I knew would be a bit different was the recycled pavers. Different textures and colour but they will blend in. After pressure cleaning them all it looks as good as it will get. Happy with that. Its a lot of work to have gotten two post foundations in and to move a wall 500mm but the rewards should be worth it once the posts and roof go up. I noticed the little orphan side garden is really coming into its own too. Later. .
