CRAP weather but I need to get at least some work done on the smoker shelter roof.

Now the old roof is off, I need to do a fair bit of measuring and working out as there some structural additions before I can start putting on the roof boards.

I’m in and out the house with bits of paper and a tape measure ’til I have it all worked out.

I get the first board on before the rain gets too much and I retire to the office. There’s one final ‘free plus postage’ badge order that attracted another few hundred quid’s-worth of merch – most of which I have had to make especially to fulfil the order.

Once everything’s finished and put together to my satisfaction I pack it all up and print the postage and other documents. It’s going overseas and there’s a lot of individual weighing and identification of customs codes.

We wander along to Betty’s for dinner and have a lovely evening. Back home I get some stuff ready for tomorrow morning’s Santa paddle at Linlithgow …although tthe wind forecast isn’t looking good. I’ll make a judgement call in the morning.
