cracking on again. got rained off site on Tuesday, so the gang on site have chosen to work longer days and through their breaks for the rest of the week to catch up! Compacting should be completed by Monday, ready for more baskets, and lots more stones!

very productive day on site, and very very hot. approx half the baskets are almost full on row 3… if we keep on at this rate there is no reason why the row shouldn’t be done completely by friday

however heavy rain forecast for tomorrow and wednesday

sad to see so much havoc created throughout the valley after fridays 10 minute whirlwind tornado of tennis ball sized hailstones. not a school or house in the local area without broken windows, and so many car windscreens badly smashed
