Week Six of house building

Last week was Holy Week which was a bit of a holiday so not very much got done, except... well Grace wants a fish pond, she got the workers to dig it out to a depth of about 4 feet, she said. If you look at the picture of her in the pond, you can see it is nearer five feet! Probably going to keep a shark there.

Now this week, we went to Dolly's graduation, pictures at

So we were away 2 days. In those two days the walls of the west wing have risen, so now you can see our bedroom etc.

Next week the roof trusses should be on! Wowee!!

New cocktail

I mixed a new cocktail last night, decided to call it a Caliraya Sunset, recipe follows:

2 measures golden rum
1 measure rossi vermouth
3/4 msre dry vermouth
1 msre grenadine
1 msre triple sec
dash of angostura
1 measure lime juice
stir in a glass over ice then top up with soda water.

Tasted nice but strong!
