As far as I can remember, behind a drawing table (or in the present time a computer with a drawing program) it is wonderful to create plans and ideas but to check it in practice is much better.
The landscaping as we had in mind need to have some rescheduling and redesigning. It worked out the pond at the land has a bit a different shape as we saw before. At that moment the grass was high and it was hard to see the exact form. Now, with the grass cut (or better to say eaten by the cows and buffaloes) we got the right shape.
Also the Petite Chartres Labyrinth gets a little bit a different place but not to much away from the place we planned it before.
It is nearly impossible to get the land-markers with a big hammer in the soil. The land is very hard and dry. The land we want to start building (about 2200 m2), more than 10 years ago already, was raised nearly 2 meters above the surrounding rice fields. So this afternoon we bought some metal pins and marked their heads red with spray paint. These will make it easier to do our land surveying again tomorrow.
Kadhow today enjoyed running around (in the morning) and playing with a picket post. Because it was warm today in the afternoon (33 degrees C) at a certain moment he went for a sleep next to the car into the shadow.
