SwimGym then I rushed off to get another trailer load of gravel – Henare was here and waiting when we got back from SwimGym.

It turned out that we didn’t unload the gravel today but instead:

• I had an idea to put edging along the railings side of the gravelled area in addition to the lawn side – to make it much easier to get the resulting surface reasonably level.
• Karola wanted the end of the railings by the pump shed to have a more substantial terminating post so we took out the old one – very warped by the sun as it happened – and made one three planks thick instead of two.
• We needed to saw up some of the heavy planks I’d been saving but as Karola also wants removable railings put up in the gateway next to the septic tank – instead of a gate – in the same style as the rest of the railings – we cut the planks for this first before making the new end post.

This took all day.

Karola is still deep in bottling – plums today – and in rearranging the fridges and cupboards in the cottage garage yet again.
