Laying concrete blocks...





 ...started in the rain on Mr. B's Birthday, but luckily weather is on our side now and today was lovely, sunny day and great progress was made. The final layer of blocks is to go on tomorrow. Then the base will be filled with sand and drains and pipes and cables will be placed in their right places. Styrofoam will go somewhere there too, inside and outside of the foundations.

    I had a big spurs fan in the office here who just left us to go to Australia so that is two less unhappy people in the country when Spurs lose out on the CL.
