 Mixing mortar and filling holes, trying to spread the things evenly and not really knowing how.

But the wall in the bathroom is repaired between eight in the morning and one in the afternoon.Take a break and go to the coffee machine, the family is up and about.

It is the last day of the year, there is plastering to be done, and rooms to be tidied.

This is all so that next year may be even better than this year.
