It's due to hit 29c today 
We arrived Wed night so, of course, it’s centigrade.
Watching the sun go down as we sip a cuppa on the balcony now.
Down to the Irish bar later for a couple of pints and a sing song.

Talking of pints....
I'm involved with the community group who have taken over the local pub. There is no proper drawing of it, so I have surveyed it with the aim of producing a proper set of drawings. I just can't make the damn thing work! I've visited 3 times, checking and rechecking measurements, and it still doesn't add up. I mean, it's a higgledy piggledy old thing, loads of ad-hoc extensions and alterations with bowed walls and nothing square, but nonetheless, you'd think I'd at least be able to draw an outline of its footprint. At the moment it doesn't look like the upper walls at the rear are sitting on the lower walls, which means it should be collapsing........but there isn't the slightest sign of that happening. My worst discrepancy is nearly 300mm. Normally, I'd be annoyed to have a 30mm error anywhere.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
You know what old buildings are like Mike. Talk about bodget places, and add ons just slapped up anyhow...
Yeah, but that's an Irish couple.

Evening folks. Weather looks like it is going to get colder tonight. Time for the thermals i think. 
Yeah, loads of them are leaning. I tend to measure and draw at a reference height, though, and so long as that stays the same around the building, leaning walls shouldn't be an issue. Haven't had a pint for weeks, or longer.

Like that is it. Along with a "country mile".Yeah, but that's an Irish couple.
I do. I do. They seldom put up such resistance to me as this one has, though.

If the walls are leaning out, and your reference is at a height. How much does the reference line lean out over the foot of the walls?

Now you see, that might be part of your problem. Dual measures!
