Day 2509
Rain here in the morning with a mix of sun and cloud after and 26. Its 22 here now.
Charlie stayed with us last night - her first sleepover with us. After the rain stopped I went out and swept the water off the garage floor. Ruby went back for a rest after being up and down with Charlie during the night. Me & Noel then cut up some treaded rod, installed joiners on the rods already installed in the garage walls and then installed the cut pieces to extend the rods for another 3 rows of blocks. We then unpacked some concrete blocks and placed them around the garage floor to get ready for Monday morning.
