Monday march 26th

Had a terrible weekend rib wise- rib on right hand side crunched last night- not a clue what that means other than I was in agony afterwards, and could only sleep on my back which I'm not supposed to do- on account of my bad back(also horse related!- why do I do it??!?) Hence I'm now even more useless than a chocolate fireguard ( if that's possible) On account of having banjaxed ribs- right and left!! and a stiff back- put me down now!! So timber frame was delivered today- fortunately most of it was down to my Daddyo- unloading the lorry with his tele handler, which gave me a good excuse to shout at him, sorry- guide him!!! We then put out sole plates in prep for timber frame. I attached damp proof membrane to sole plates- cue pops asking me how i was getting on with my "Jifficult Dob" (1 beer at lunch!). Then hammered on brackets to the sole plates, for Dad and mick to drill through floor base and screw to concrete. Please now check out dad's blog: http://retirementcottage.blogspot.co.uk/ as when he saw the day's photos- he accused me of showing my g string off!!
