It has been another lovely sunny day. I even took off my cardigan! We were both outside all day, having meetings...
Our architect came over, and we sat outside in the dappled shade of the apple tree at the bottom of the garden to go over plans and next steps. At the same time the building company's surveyor was doing the very detailed measurements which will provide the very detailed plans for the groundworks. He had set up his 'workstation' on the patio table up near the house. BB set up the parasol for him as the sun was now properly sunny.
Having both architect and surveyor at the same time proved a good move as they could settle a lot of questions between them straight away. Then fence between us and our neighbours gas not yet been replaced after their similar extension was done last summer. We get on very well, and we had permission to nip through and check on how various details such as manhole covers and drains were dealt with, which the surveyor found helpful.
They left shortly after 3, and we had lunch - yes, lunch! - at about quarter past! I hadn't managed to get it ready for us to eat before they turned up just before 1pm. My, but we were hungry! I'd already cooked the sausages, and defrosted some chunky vegetable and tomato sauce, so I nipped into the kitchen to put plates into the oven to heat and make a start on cooking pasta while they were packing up their bags. It didn't take long, and we sat outside in the shade of the parasol to eat.
And then it was supper time... or would have been... but the day was so scrambled. We had a snack much later.
Three events, then.
A shower, and two meetings. And a lot of fresh air.
Dvorăk, Sillouettes op8 no 11 in A major. Played by Claudio Columbo.
