More at the house

Saturday 22nd August: Warmish and sunny at times. We headed out to the house for another day's work. Gordon the electrician was busy all day and so were we. The boys filled lots of wheelbarrows with wood and emptied them in the woodshed in exchange for a square of chocolate. I moved lots of the large logs from the veggie garden from where a large tree fell down in a sorm a few months ago, doing an impression of an Olympic weightlifter to get them off the ground. I also dug out some short wooden posts from the lawn and moved lots of sheets of corrugated metal lying around the land. Steve was busy in between getting calls to see patients.
For lunch I had a coconut curry in the slow cooker - a new recipe that was gorgeous, followed by chocolate and coffee layer cake. Just at that time some friends turned up and helped us finish the cake.
The large tree had fallen on a rabbit hutch which we decided to pull out an demolish at the end of the afternoon. Armed with crowbars and hammers there was a lot of activity from Steve and the boys for this task (see photo). Just as we were finishing Peter swung the hammer with a little more gusto than usual and smacked the top of his head with the claw hammer side. A lot of blood and a lot of howling later all was better, and to cheer him up Steve and I moved the hutch remains to the bonfire area and set fire to it (see photo).
Tea was sardines on toast then Steve got called out again when it was storytime. I tried to watch Barry Trotter and the Half-Baked Quince but didn't really get into it. However I was amused by an advert in one of the breaks. I know recession has hit Britain badly, but I was surprised to hear that there was 50% off Manchester and 40% off selected Wiltshire! I found out that Manchester is sheets, pillow slips and maybe other things but have no idea what Wiltshire is - any one like to comment please?
The other photos are a charming one of Peter and Jonathan, and one of the back of the house showing how low down the 3 (bare) power wires are coming in to the house - these are being replaced on Monday, providing the weather is dry.
