Yesterday we took down the four, 3-metre tall panel sliding louvre doors that lead off the atrium into one of the bedrooms, and then I tore it all apart (being from the "when all you've got is a hammer..." school) to get it into bin-dumpable bits (this may take a few months of bin-stuffing).
Today we bought ham, turkey and pork, christmas cake and christmas pie. Since there's only going to be three of us, there may be some leftovers. The rest of the day we ripped up and replaced with hardwood some rotting floorboards in the gazebo/cabana/Bali hut/thing next to the pool that has the daybed under it and from where you serve drinks to people at the pool bar (a good thing to remember when thinking of getting a pool with a pool bar? Making sure you've got someone to serve you at it, otherwise they're just seats). This board-replacing involved the mighty hammer once again (not just for knocking in nails, but for knocking rotten boards out).
Then I went for a swim.
Tomorrow we go out shopping "for Christmas food", which begs the question, "What are ham, turkey and pork, christmas cake and christmas pie?". Also, new concertina shutter-doors get put on to replace the old sliders I destroyed.
Right now, I'm about to go to bed.
Cheers,
Marc
