Brrr .... it's still cold!  The weather has gone from summer wear to maximum winter wear in one week!

Kaylia had to come home from school early today .... she has a bad ear ache and just wanted to go to the doctor!  This is very unusual for her.... she has to have very strong pain before it has that sort of impact.

She has a course of antibiotics, some ear drops ..... and some extra strong pain tablets.

The building project is going well.  The main steel beams are now in place ... these will support the upper floor.  I'll put a temporary floor on the bearers and this will give me an easy working platform to work on the upper roof.

Eventually there will be a door from the entry room onto this new balcony.  That will be in the window space at the upper right-hand side.

Brrr..... it's cold!  It's 13 degrees outside with a howling wind and frequent rain. I shudder think of what it would be like in a really cold place.

The storm came and did a lot of damage elsewhere nearby..... but we missed our as usual.  We seem to be in a little sheltered pocket and the winds blow over the top of our valley. 

I'm welding steel beams in place when the rain pauses..... I get a few bits done and then knock off and retreat into the warmth next to the fire.

It's 9am and according to the forecast we've already passed the maximum temperature for today and it's just going down from here.  Brrrr..... I'm stoking the fire!  I think our outing today will be a short one.
