I woke very early again. Mal took Rosie out for a long walk, which she needed after being trapped in with me. Thankfully Mal took over all the chores including all the cooking, phew what a relief. This is certainly taking a long time. Having said that though he was exhausted from all the travelling, eating large meals with two good hands and two intensive days of meetings.
Mal fitted a new rope to seal the log burner and we had our first fire, it was very cosy and of course Rosie plonked herself down right in front of it.
