I have been doing a lot of
mixing recently – sand, cement & water for the pointing mortar, flour, fat
& water for pastry, and now plaster & water to patch around the
replacement doorframe; crucial in each case is the amount of water added and in
each case a seemingly minute quantity can immediately transform a dry crumbly mass
to a wet sloppy mess, but so far so good with the mortar firm betwixt the
bricks, the pie encased top and bottom in a crisp crust, and today the plaster largely
staying where it was put.
