rain again, but this time it's really wet


What am I doing? He he.  I emptied out the ferro cement tank we are building.  It was full of sawdust to hold the shape while we covered the chickenwire in cement.  It took quite a few days to get the stuff out.  Now we have to render the inside so it's all smooth and waterproof.  Pity we missed the opportunity to fill it with all the rain that is now pouring down and watering the thirsty ground.
The cuckoo sings across the valley, and the nightingale chants on top of the chestnut trees.  Buzzards hover and soar over us.  We sit on a bale and share a thermos of tea, while ginger sleeps on the straw mulch in the sun.  Not bad.  And I have started to dig the next swale. :)
