    They certainly have. But there's a lot more paint to go. Then there will be the next 120, before erecting the damn things.

    I've a week off from them (both the palings and Wailing Wall)

    Readers may wish to know that Olly5764 survived his two days with me, acquitting himself well on shovel, regulator and brake. Fortunately, I didn't have to label anything, although to judge by the quality of some of the stuff we shovelled on Thursday afternoon, and what it did to the fire, "This is not coal," would have been a completely appropriate notice!

    Thanks JTX, once it finally decided to burn though, by hell did it go! The down side to Welsh Coal with a pile of slack in the centre of the bunker.
