I laid about a tonne of concrete yesterday for the base of my new garden tool store. The weather was just about perfect, dry and bright with temperature of around 23 degrees but with a nice breeze, so it was just a matter of slogging on until the job was finished.<\/p>\n

It came out pretty well, if anything better than the base of my wood store, which was worse to work on as it had the complication of the two uprights for my grenier stairs being in it and also butting straight up against my house wall. Here are a couple of shots that I took early yesterday evening after I’d cleaned and put away all of my tools.<\/p>\n

Looking back, I see that I was at the same stage with my wood store on 26 September a year ago, so only 4 days different this year. However, last year I lost more than that amount of time through bad weather. With a bit of luck, things are looking a bit more settled this year so I’m hoping that after having a bit of a break to recover today, I’ll be able to continue tomorrow and start making faster progress than I did on the wood store.<\/p>\n

Victor, Olivier and I went out for a well-earned meal last night to celebrate the arrival at long last of Victor’s ULM ‘brevet et licence’. So congratulations Captain Victor, with the papers to prove it, and here’s to you enjoying many hours of safe and happy flying in the Rans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
