Sunday

I am excited. Uncle Wayne is still here and still working on making the Mummies’ deck the best it could possibly be – and the Mummies are extremely grateful he is being so painstaking with it. I think M Kaz is enjoying working with him as a Trade’s Assistant and she certainly is learning lots about using power tools – she’s been using an impact driver with the rivet adaptor and even I can see that’s a way better option than the hand-operated rivet gun … that’s fun too but very slow and given they have so many rivets to do, they don’t have time for mucking around.

There was good progress today with the deck ends getting filled in with shade cloth … it looks great. I’ve only seen it through the windows or the screen doors because, despite assurances a couple of days ago that it won’t be long now until I can go out on the deck – I still haven’t set any of my feet out there, and it’s not for want of trying – I don’t know how I could be urging them on any faster. It’s taking so much effort that I have to keep my strength up by having lots of naps – and spending the rest of the time looking as cute as I can – I’d like to say that I’ve been being as cute as I can, but we all know that’s not right.
