Beez to the 25th of February – A Very Shiny
Girl
Always a great start to the week. Bear
outdid himself with this egg event.
On Monday I finished varnishing the
new instrument panel whilst Bear finished the
electrickery on board in readiness. Tuesday we went for my FLUP (follow
up appointment with medic and surgeon). Regime to stay the same for two months,
so down to pharmacy for a big box of supplies. On Wednesday we actually made it
to the pool for a swim, played some games after Bear added the instruments to
the panel.
In place
and looking lush, just the radio mike to hang, lots of tidying and the office
will be back to rights.
The boys finished
rubbing down Beez.
Beez wrapped and
completely enclosed ready for Jimmy to spray.
Time for Bear to find an outside job
so he began rubbing down the rudder.
Caught one
lunchtime. Exhausted to be twelve - twenty four down on the backgammon
field...........Huh.
Beez after her
first coat, this will be sanded and two more coats added.
So what have been up to this week
other than taking handfuls of tablets.... The week began with an easy voile
panel for the sea berth and a first pass at the one for the office. Trip to Beez
for a fitting, back to 404 for final alterations, job done. Next was altering
the new shower curtain and making a tiny one with side frills for the little en
suite window, job done. Meanwhile, our cockpit chairs have been a bit of a nemesis but as all
my other sewing jobs have now been finished, it was no delaying anymore. Enter
the field, catch the beast, saddle up and grit my teeth. The old covers were soon stripped and the two waterproof
single, fitted sheets were tamed. Took all day Saturday to do the first, designing and altering as I went. The second
took all morning today and a little bit after lunch. Rather pleased to say they
both look fine in their new underclothes. The new Sunbrella covers will have to
wait, I have enough for the fronts but......a quick email to Mr Razali and hope.
The picture of the week has to go to
the very shiny girl who is still loving all the
attention.
ALL IN ALL A GOOD, PRODUCTIVE
AND BUSY WEEK
VISIBLE PROGRESS AT
LAST |
