Measurement problems
It had not so far been a good week for measurements and the latest
in the string of mistakes was found when Graham tried to fit the
manhole lids. There had been no allowance made for the reinforcing
pieces under the covers and these fouled on the blocks. The
problem was solved by slotting the blocks to suit.

Penwyllt Henge
The washdown area now began to take on the look of a location for
carrying out druidical rites. At long last it now had all
its services installed, the remains of the party quarry stage in
there as hardcore and the fence posts set. It looked as if
there were finally a risk of concrete mixing on the following day.

Something in the dumper shed .....
All week, the site had been subject to visits by OfWoW
and their inspector, with the backing of 27 years Working Week experience
had smelt a rat. The rat turned out to be Gruff in rather
poor light; an easy mistake to make. But in addition, there
was carpentry equipment secreted away and a suspiciously large amount
of sawdust. It did look as if there were something nasty in
the woodshed dumper shed. Note:- in these
PC days, it is no longer possible to find anything at all in a woodpile
(other than wood)

The evening dinner was a special one, courtesy of Peter Harvey,
SWCC president - to commemorate his 87th. birthday earlier in the
week.
