The roof had a small hole in the join where the gable in our bedroom meets the rest of the roof. We had a leak in the closet. Rob had the hole repaired while I was off making monkeys, but the plaster was pretty badly (as in falling down) damaged. -e-: I think you're right. It's the rhythmic repetition, but it's varied just enough to be fascinating. -d-: Weird, I thought I blogged about this, but I was away when it happened, so apparently not.

I think the repetitive complex , rhythmic nature of the clopping sound of cutting new dollops of fresh plaster off the hod(?) , alternating with the scrape of application, cleaning front and back of the knife and then clop, a new dollop reminds me of some of the more elaborate variants of patty cake I played in childhood.
