I've got a point.

Well, I've got to point.

The whole of the north wall of the steading is now raked out and ready to be repointed with nice new lime mortar. Hopefully I'll pick it up quickly............ Still, I'll get tons and tons of practice, much like digging, humping crap about, and clattering myself on the thumb with a hammer. And probably falling into holes I've dug - actually I've done that lots already.

The builders merchants are dropping off a load of stuff with swhich I can make a tremendous mess next week. And the electric is being connected up tomorrow.

It's moving - slowly, but it's moving.
