We carried on with doing the 2nd course of concrete blocks, working around the 9 corners. We decided to split the mortar amount in half so that we could control when and how far the mortar reached before stopping for lunch or the end of the day. Today, we had events to attend to in the late afternoon so we worked through lunch until we had finished the 2nd load of mortar. That was 5 hours straight (with plenty of water breaks!).
We managed to do the 9 corners and then 2 corners of the next level up.

Tomorrow, we will try and finish the 3rd layer and hopefully go a long way to finishing the 4th and final layer too!!
