Sunday 25th Jun

The rain has cleared up but I was suffering from the recent cold weather and had bad sniffles.

I spent most of the day working on the dump point database. I worked really late and didn't get to bed until one o'clock.

Monday 26th Jun

It was really cold overnight so another day went by without any work on the bathroom.

I had decided that I had to put map references in the dump point database so I had to make another thousand manual entries. This took the best part of the day and evening. The database is now in pretty good condition and ready for publication. I may just to put it up on this website so that those who want to can access it.

Tuesday 27th Jun

Because the rain has cleared, we had another frost overnight. I spent some time attending to emails and finishing work on the dump point database.

In the afternoon, I assembled another bookcase.

Wednesday 28th Jun

Another pretty bad frost overnight. The Motley had frost on the windscreen and on the outside walls when I went down to switch on the water heater.

I found the enthusiasm to finish the work on the bathroom floor. It was much easier with the cement mixer. Now I have to do the walls and install the shower and the vanity. Then we can get the plumber back to connect it all up.

Thursday 29th Jun

Another day of sedentary work. I finished the draft of the book we were asked to have ready by 30 Jun and Ross emailed his agreement with my latest version.

In the evening I went to the Lions Club meeting and was given the job of Cake Chairman. Promotion already!

Friday 30th Jun

I was out early to go to the hospital to have another BCC removed. Dr Sanji did the surgery which was quite painless. This one was buried in my beard and she said the removal of the stitches would cause some pain because of the beard.

It brained during the day and we spent the day indoors.

Saturday 1st Jul

We went to Frost over Barraba, an annual art show. There were lots of entries and the standard was pretty high but we didn't see anything we wanted to buy which was just as well as the prices were also pretty high.

I got a few little jobs done.
