Continued cleaning the roof, more than half had been cleaned by the end of the week.  This is a slow but necessary process if work is to continue at some point.  Further illness interrupted this process but I managed to fit the glass into the emergency door frame and started to fit the hinges but ran out of screws.  I also started cleaning the inside of the bus and the seat frames.  I also fitted two of the steel plates to the rear seat back and trimmed the third to fit.  The final act of the week was to collect the remaining seat backs from Ifor.

Started the week gently, removing more dust and dead leaves from the roof of the bus whilst wearing PPE.    Managed little else due to illness.

Still resting this week but I did manage to remove some rubbish from the bus shed and put it in the skip.  I should be well enough to restart work next Monday, 28th.
