What Happened To Global Warming?

We have had Summer, then Autumn which with a few exceptions was very mild, then an early spring, the blossom has started to come out, the daffodils were blooming, and we seemed to have missed winter altogether.
Then just as we were thinking about the arrival of an early summer, NZ, was hit by a polar blast, direct from the Antarctic for the past week.
Almost all of NZ was covered.
A big surprise, this is the first time our little village of Martinborough has had such a dump of snow, the last was over 70 years ago according to some locals.

The Big Jigsaw

Trying to remember how I was planing to reconstruct the cabin lining, that I had cut out and fitted, deconstructed, then painted over 4 months ago, was a little like putting a giant jigsaw together,
I had numbered all the pieces so it would be a simple matter to rebuild it but in the rush to get it finished, 'someone' had painted over the coding system, oh bother!
Many hours of crawling around on the floor and the lining is back in some sort of order.
Luckily I have the gallery to set it out. I only had just got it back after emptying all the stored furniture. and now it's once again changed from a gallery to a boat building workshop.
Mrs DIY is 'really pleased' with the change.

Back To The Project

Well I've decided to redo the electrics again, didn't like the way I had done the original fix.

The cabin head lining problem has been solved, I'm using wooden T& G, this will make sure we won't have the the return of the Westerly sag!I think it will work better than the original vinyl lining, plus it will give some extra space to run the electric cables to the mast and the main cabin lighting.

The NZ $ is very high at the moment, which means all the imported bits have come down in price, so had a big spend yesterday and purchased the 2 radios, one for communication the other for music.

Had a call from the 'nice man' from Volvo letting me know that the new motor was now on 'special' sometimes things do go in your favour.
