Working in a coal mine

(Lee Dorsey, 1966)



Another long June weekend… another few days of hard labour.

This time we were down in the basement, taking out the old blue bathroom, dismantling the staircase, stripping the walls back to the bricks, and filling bags with dust.




Fortunately we had extra supplies of cheerful stamina in the form of Tom and Rob, who kindly took a week out of their four-month university holidays to come and lend us their muscles, and some of their engineering skills. Fuelled with ice-tea and pizza, we managed to clear the basement in no time. Thanks guys!
