Every now and then you have to pause and do some tidying up and oiling..... So that's what I did first this morning, cleaned Mrs Harrison and oiled the ways. Then I turned my attention back to the steam valve and measured and cut the different surfaces. I am almost ready for cutting the slot for the driver bar but that's for tomorrow.

Morning

Cold wet and windy forecast today, not a day to venture out much. I shall go for a swim this morning and Lucy is coming this afternoon. My sewing with Maxine was cancelled yesterday as she has hurt her hip after a fall so instead I painted three doorways in our hall, leaving just the lounge doorway to do. The other day I re oiled all the pine doors in there too

Bob intends painting the ceiling in the hall today and is also going to collect the wallpaper we ordered for the lounge and dining room from B&Q in Bury.. In the lounge we have one wall stripped of wallpaper but that will be it for a few days as we are away tomorrow night and Saturday. The chimney breast mould has been treated and it will give it time to start drying out. The couple of days respite are well earned!

Have a good day all
