Sticking a Ram on the roof

We went to see Lau at the Methodist church in the Northern Quarter on Wednesday.
Unusually they were not very good.  Martin had a few more toys and seemed to spend more time playing with them.  More electronics than music.

We finally got a nice clear day without too much wind, and lifted the refurbished ventilator/weather vane back on the roof.

Lifting the vane up onto the scaffolding with a manatee was remarkably easy, then we manhandled the vane into place, and it slid neatly onto the socket in the roof, a lovely snug fit.  I wish everything we did went this smoothly!

Once fixed in place, the wind vane was fixed, once we had worked out which way was north.

Finally the Ram goes on to top it all off!

As soon as this was done, it was down to the Met, to set up the bar for Bury Beer Festival.  Four bars, 30 beers and 30 handpumps.  The festival was quite busy this year.  The trio of Brewsters beers sold pretty quickly as did the Costa Del Salford and the Mad Dogs and Englishmen.

Sunday the bar was stripped down and packed away, then, after 50 hours on my feet over the weekend, home for some much needed sleep.
