Less than expected!

It will come as no surprise, that I slept like a log last night. However, what was a surprise, was the fact that I felt relatively pain free,* after yesterday's workout with the rotorvator.

Just before ten o'clock we had another tree surgeon turn up to give us a quote for the felling of the ash tree. He seemed very thorough, and, after several minutes of inspection and questioning, he advised that he'd do the job for £1,950. This is a good deal less than we expected, and it is likely that we will be accepting his quote.

The remainder of the morning was taken up with a walk. The weather has turned unseasonably chilly, and both hat and coat were necessary attire ... and I was only just getting used to leaving them behind.

This afternoon 30% headed off to the cinema with 'Chelle, so I took the opportunity to have a lengthy siesta on the sofa.

I then headed out to the workshop and picked up a project that had been abandoned last Autumn.  I reacquainted myself with my mortiser, and finally got the mortises cut in the door frame stiles.

Next, I need to work out how big the rails need to be.

* As pain free as any sixty two year old can hope to be!
