The Builders are here and they are making a most excellent mess

The ceiling needs to come down. It is an old thing of lath and plaster piled with what might be powdered insulation, but is probably pigeon droppings.

The weather has been frightful, which allows us to notice that the house does not leak.... Actually, its quite comfortable, though you can hear the rain on the roof in the loft, but it is isn't that loud.  Also I managed to do my Christmas shopping before lockdown was called.  And we got the tree in too.
