Thursday 29th October - rainy day
Lots and lots of rain today - but my office-shed is almost done! The floor went down yesterday... *g* I'm looking forward to this view while I'm working. *g*
It's just waiting for the light and electric socket to be put in now.
I do have a decision to make soon though. I hadn't really thought about it, but... should I paint the inside of the cabin? If I did then I'd paint it white, for the lightness of it. But I like the wood grain... but it's mostly going to be covered up by bookshelves anyway, so maybe I should paint it white for the extra light/protection that paint gives...? What do you think?
I was interrupted in my deliberations by spotting this chap having a wander around places that weren't meant to be wandered by calves... and could I find a farmer? Noooo! So I shut the gate across the track that leads to the slurry pit, and the one into the farmyard, and hoped there'd be no wandering up towards the fields (no gate in that direction) and sure enough it stuck close to the other calves in the barn, from which it had probably just stepped through the bars and gone walkabout... I didn't want to try and put it back in though, in case it had been separated for some reason... I eventually got a message through to one of the errant farmers, and eventually two of them came home (who'd not had the message!) and anyway, it kept itself safe after its first attempt to wander too far, but... hey, I got to be in loco farmer-tus! *g*
Meanwhile, I discovered that the three-days of work I'd accepted shouldn't have been accepted after all, because I had no idea what the writer was trying to say in every second sentence (literally...) So I had to return three days worth of work - eeep! And did I get on with Job 2? Not quite... tomorrow I will catch up...
It rained most of today too, so I didn't go for a walk until late again...
It wasn't cold though, and I rather wished I could have walked further... I'll have to get out earlier tomorrow!
