It's been heavy rainstorms interspersed with lighter ones all day long, so the air is very damp and I expect it will take a bit longer to dry than usual.
The local tiler has kindly offered to lend me his big tile cutter for the wall tiles, and I hope to be able to start those fairly soon. Though I'll be starting with the washbasin surface, which has to be cemented in place and then tiled before I do the walls around it. I am not looking forward to cutting the large format tiles to produce exactly sized holes - the one for the tap has to be just big enough for the pipes, but not so big that the body of the tap falls through: as near as posible just 28mm diameter.
I'm pleased with these first results.
I'm slightly less pleased with the night-time visitor we had on Saturday:
Eventually it took half a dozen farming neighbours and a tractor with a telescopic arm to get the cow out. She appears to be no worse for her chilly experience.
