annie and pete rebuild the mill

Dinner with Annie and Pete, Toni and Dave at the mill - haven't seen it for a while and it is progressing along the bourgeois path of comfort. Up to a point.
Excellent nosh though.
Here is the bathroom, featuring plastic over the windows - sissy stuff -

and the dry toilet, which is a great pleasure to use in the bathroom de luxe with the sound of the river flowing underneath the window
























Here is Annies poem of a few days back when it was cold, extolling the virtues of the new bathroom:

The moon is lovely, silver behind the tree
the temperature in the bedroom is minus 3
l have to go upstairs to pee

Shivering, I climb the broad stairs; - l arrive
in the bathroom,it is less than minus 5
I will survive

Morning: sky blue, snow is sparkling, appeasing
sun and stove have bought the kitchen above freezing
the effect is pleasing
