[Andy in Germany]

I work in a building with three floors, and no lift. What with checking on clients, forgetting stuff and needing the privvy, I reckon I'll need to climb the stairs twenty odd times today.

So far I've been down and up 4 times:

1: Front door to office (1st floor)
2: Office to cafe (ground floor) to get some water
3: Office to main theatre (ground floor) : Checking in with client.
4: Office to privvy (Basement)

And it's just gone nine.

Will keep reporting in as the need arises...

Do you work in a lighthouse ?

No, here, but the offices are upstairs and the theatres are on top of each other.

And the bog is in the basement.

My front door is coming together slowly. This will be the inside face:

Here are the two faces lined up side-by-side:

It's only taken my 3 days longer than I thought.

Where will the letterbox go? I only ask because my neighbour's son made her a door and left out the letterbox.

That said, looks great.

5: Getting yoghurt for Breakfast (mango)

Fitted my mudguards at last. I love the way the videos on line show everything going together perfectly. Of course my bike had the hole for the bridge at right angles to where the bridge could fit, so I gave up and just drilled a hole in the mudguard. And how do you cut those stays? It took ages with a hacksaw! The rear seems OK, but there are funny noises from the front.

It brought back memories of my teenage years, when I had to fit new mudguards to my Triumph Palm Beach. I didn't cut the stays then.

Then I thought the rack looked much easier to fit. Well it would have been if all the bolts were there.

Bolt cutters........and even then it hurts my hand. Why do they need to make them quite so tough!

Where were they?

They'd somehow ended up in my sock drawer.

You just happen to have a pair to hand.

9: Removing bottle of beer from one of the less used rooms and reporting it to the cafe manager: For obvious reasons Alcohol is kept well locked up but some occasionally 'walks.'

The Moon is big and orange .

That's a bit poetic for Mundane!

Or tennis.

He's from Yorkshire, I don't think a civilised game like tennis has made it that far yet
