#922 Wednesday 18 June

Another cold wet day.  Firewood is a priority now .... to keep the fire stoked and the house warm.  The hoist/winch that I built (to lift loads up and down between the balcony and the workshop) is proving invaluable.  The main part of it is a frame that I have been carting round for about 30 years.  The frame has been useful at other times but I think it has found the ideal role.

The balcony railing is now removable to allow access.  The frame that you see below is used to carry "stuff" up and down.




Kaylia continues to be happy.  Her happiness is a source of joy and satisfaction to both Naomi and I.
