Tempus
fugit and lord knows my temper has ‘fuged’ on more than one occasion since we began
making our wood panels. Hand on heart
when I say that the other half’s pyrotechnic pirate fireworks display had
explosions of a lesser magnitude.

| Avast me hearties - this ship has sailed |
However,
all that is about to change as we enter what I hope will be the final project push
before time really runs away with us. Yep it’s time for the big one; it's that
hold-your-breath-and-squeeze-with-all-your-might push that will bring about the
end of this wretched saga. Aaaah, the
relief!

| Adding the top rail and verticals |
Now
when I say that the end is nigh, what I really mean is the end of the first
phase as there’s still the recess framework and dado rail to be added. In George Lucas’s world that’s at least
another 5 sequels, 3 prequels and a couple of spin offs for coving and
wallpapering. No doubt he'd have
merchandising that would include a collectable set of tradesmen figures such as
Pete the Plasterer, Bert the Brickie and Wendy the Wallpaperer, all with
movable joints. Bequeath them to your
kids or sell them on Ebay for a zillion bitcoins as in a few years’ time they’d
be worth a small fortune.
But
let’s not spend the evening chewing the cud over panels or prequels, let’s talk
about cats instead.
We
haven’t seen hide nor hair of the ginger menace for the past 3 weeks which can
only mean several things – run over, moved house or curfewed because he’s been
spotted on this blog. But God (and cats)
move in mysterious ways and it seems that when one moggy departs, another
magically appears to take its place.
Enter
the tortoiseshell. It’s adorable, a furry
Gustav Klimt with a chequered coat of gold and black that reminds me of ‘The
Kiss’. As you can see from these photos,
it’s wasted no time at all in making itself right at home.
