Harvest Interlude

Another interlude. The full moon a little while ago (was it only last week?-school holidays are such a joyous blur), coincided with harvesting, and then a harvestmen showed in up in the house. Over a period of days I spotted it in all the rooms. Was it the same one, or part of a family, or an individual of many clones? I do not know. However, I find the sheer long-legged improbability of these arachnids, delightful and beautiful. Here it is (one of them anyway) on my limed clay-lump walls.

Nearly finished window

Right now the window has had one coat of gloss paint (but been preserved, primed and undercoated). Hinges have been purchased (probably cranked hinges-if that is the term), and I am ready to order the glazing units. Most important of all, and learned from bitter experience, always measure at least twice, if not more, and check with the glaziers, how much gap you must allow between the glass and frame. I stick the glazing units in with silicon sealant and then pin in glazing bars which have been preserved, primed and painted. I will post the in situ window, later. Oh, and because it will be double glazed, I shall also put in a vent in (easy to purchase from diy stores). A doddle, but also an on-going learning process...
