Charley and the Roof


She went from being a sorry little character, warming in front of the fire ...


... to snoozing on the sofa for the evening.


I threw some extra big logs on the wood burner and let them stay in the living room for the night, as she had snuggled in the bed that is currently tucked behind the sofa with big sister Suky at bedtime.  Judging by how stiff Suky was when she got out of bed this morning I don't think they moved at all during the night.  


This morning she is bright eyed and perky ... and has discovered that if you stick your bum in the air and relax your painkilling tablets soon kick in.

She's doing really well now, in a few minutes we are hitting the road and heading for Mum's to spend a day drinking coffee and chatting in a non-building site for a change.  The dogs will be fine in their beds on the back seat of the car for the journey, cosy and warm and much better for them both than the stress and chilliness of all this building work.


It's starting to take shape now and one side has all the beams in place, today they are working on the other side.  I'll leave them to it.

  4. Gosh Charley is a cutie. I have shown the Mr her picture in the hope that she will melt his heart and we can get one when we have moved and are more settled.

    how clever is that to have the roof weight on columns, I would never have thought that and would have only thought knock it down and start again. The roof is going up really quickly. I cant wait to see it when it is finished.
