My day was pretty much divided between these two events.
In the morning I went to check out the delivery of the containers to the old LCCU site. Quite an unbelievable experience! The amount of stuff that was actually in them was unthinkable and some of it pardon me saying so, quite useless, a walking aid (same as used by old people) for a children’s home??? What were people thinking!
But on the other hand it’s nice that so much stuff has been sent out, it will definitely help and furnish the building once it is finished… Just a pity that it has all arrived leaving us with a storage problem, that seems to have no easy solution… We’ll manage no doubt an in a few months stuff will be being moved in to the new building.
I also went on a short visit to the site, only to discover that the men where, as I had asked them to, demolishing the old slabs… It occurred to me that all their work and sweat could be saved, and our work capacity increase, if we could actually organize to have on site a pneumatic-hammer, it would probably do the work in less that a 1/10 of the time! I’ll suggest it to the contractor and hope that he accepts it so that we can carry on with the important task of rebuilding, and not demolishing.
In the afternoon however I had the high point of my day! I manage to go through the lecture without making too much of a fool of myself! I’m sure I did a few mistakes but none that I’m deeply ashamed of!
So all of that went well… Let’s see how the weekend goes! I need to meet the students tomorrow to see if we come up with a solution for Lydia’s house and also on Sunday I’ll be meeting the engineer.
Wish me luck! Goodnight!
