Big Bang not-quite progress

Okay, so my draft is going to end up WAY shorter than my final version, but whatever. I have three days to finish. Here goes nothing:


53818 / 80000 words. 67% done!

LOL

Be glad it's not as long as War & Peace! I know I'm glad. ;)

What will you be doing there?

I'm doing up a 200 yr old house there, or at least the builders have done most of it and I'm just painting stuff. Last year I was there for nearly 4 weeks with nothing but a bed, a chair and a microwave and fridge. This year I have a fitted kitchen and kitchen table AND a sofa!
The plan is to move there in a couple of years.
Internet is essential, but there's no ADSL so I have to get my satellite dish connected back up as I disconnected last Aug so as not to pay unnecessary charges. I fear that may have been a tactical error!

Oh, wow! That's really cool. Any chance you can call ahead to get your dish connected in advance?

Sadly, no as I need to call them whe it's all been pointed, but I need to be there to help with the pointing! Never mind, I have a friend who will help me out. You don't get to be my friend without suffering, and this particular form of suffering will involve ladders, roofs and 38C temperatures!
