Aka gaeru

Another of Sammy's pictures today. The red frogs (Aka gaeru) were chirpy again and they are beginning to seem more in season as the weather warms up. There are also big gangs of brambling about in the mornings, probably on their way back to Siberia or some such. They sit up in the cedar trees snacking and toweling off after their morning bathe, their holidaymaker chatter livens things up.
Sammy and I had a day on chain gang type work smashing up rubble for the floor of the diggings at the end of the shop. I also searched out two pieces of timber suitable for pillars to replace what we have taken out. We measured the heights of the floor beams we have supported with struts and found one of them must have dropped before we wedged it, so we jacked that up to around level with its buddies and then put the wedges back in under the strut. I hope to get the pillars and concrete bases in tomorrow or Monday. Then further construction will have to wait while I get back to the chairs.
