Grange wall completed

Walking Friday:  3.8km
Swimming Friday: 0km (pool closed as it was a public holiday - Rearrange these words into a sentence that makes sense: "In France Public No Service Culture")
Walking Monday: 3.8km

When I used to be involved in project management one of the basic errors people used to make was confusing task time with elapsed time, so a job takes 5 days but takes 7 as there's a weekend in the way.

So it was with repointing the gable wall of the Grange, our stone outbuilding that we are slowly converting into a garage. We estimated it (correctly) as 5 days work but lost 5 days to the weather, 1 to hockey, 1 to completing tax forms, 1 to urgent gardening tasks and 1 somewhere else we can't remember (just like projects I used to run  .....).

It was finally finished today and looks pretty good:
