The neck brace was removed yesterday at The Walton Centre, time to get on with work. We got up at 7 this morning and went to the plot. I dug 3 trenches and filled them with sticks and branches from the Wood outside the allotment and covered them with vegetation and sods of earth. The next step is to raise the bed using scaffolding planks. This is a good way to relieve stress, working in the outdoors. It  has been difficult not being able to walk. I stopped today when my ankle started to hurt. 

We came home to work on a bid. I checked my emails and the report came from the Insurance loss adjuster. They are trying to save money. Our lives have been put on hold for 8 years. They are looking for the cheapest solution.  

I am so angry. 

We have people working on our behalf and they are not pleased.

I am going to contact a TV company. This situation would make a good documentary.

  Woke up this morning to fresh water pouring down the kitchen wall from the bathroom. I have been assured it would be a surprise if the subsidence on the gable wall had caused the pipe to move. We are waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive. Saga emergency insurance advised at 9.42 they would be here within 2 hours. The plumber arrived around 3 pm good news it was a corroded washer. Last time the kitchen ceiling fell down, the builders did not batten the plaster board to the wall. As we are waiting for major repairs the correction to the ceiling has been postponed. I have asked if we can have this fixed now as there is no date for us to move out.  The first subsidence claim we had was due to an enormous tree in a neighbour's yard that damaged our domestic drainage area. This has affected the wall. Looks like we need a new damp course.

Problems associated with Decluttering

Almost all of the project ideas we have had over the past 20 or so years, are written out long hand on large sheets of paper before we narrow down the focus and apply for funding or put forward a proposal. Some of the ideas never got off the ground, some did. Some we will recycle and use in future work. We can digitise all of the project ideas and recycle the rolls of paper.  Yesterday we recycled old boots, soft plastics and batteries. This is the way forward to recycle more every day. We tend to keep vegetable skins, egg shells and other food suitable for our compost bin on the Allotment.  How this statue saved our lives We were designing  a public art installation in 2014 title: Opera for Chinatown and we were walking through Chinatown down through Nelson Street turned right on to Upper Pitt Street to walk in to town. We heard a scrambler bike coming towards us, far too close for comfort. We turned around and saw a young man who had lost control coming towards us. We had nowhere to
