HARD WEEK

This week was our fifth on the build and our...well...my..strength was beginning to falter, Dad was a great help, he moved the rest of the back fill, a load of soggy, heavy mud. I think he took pity on me, as I couldn't even push the barrow in the end!!! It was great to get done, but a nightmare of a job, we have moved in excess of 70 tonne by hand to date, so our muscles are feeling it a bit!....Mum didn't get off lightly either, she was set to work preparing the Christmas post....But the weather was cold and we were all under pressure this week. Ant and Andy worked really hard, but still had to finish the last bits of the gable on Saturday morning, which we are very grateful for!!!, we hoped to finish Friday but time just ran away with us really...So hoping that next week will be a little less hectic. My shoulders aren't working anymore,I am unable to move my arms to shoulder height...I think they have given up!
