Bricklaying Again

[poliphilo]

Remember the garden gate I fixed a couple of days ago? Well, it fell off again the first time I tried to open it.

So, yesterday afternoon I had a second go.  I will admit the first attempt was a bit happy go lucky. This time I was careful. I proceeded by stages- A, B and C.- and I left the mortar to harden overnight. Today I'll re-hang the gate and we'll see what happens.

I had a rotten night. I was too hot, I was too achey and every time I fell asleep I dropped right into a torture-porn movie and people were menacing me. I suspect the work I did on the wall engaged muscles I don't usually use. 

But that's good, right? Because I need to be taking a lot more exercise.

So sorry about the bad night. I find that unusual exercise or activity gives me nightmares, too.

Better luck with that gate the second time around!

Thanks.

I've just completed the job. It's looking better this time round.
