Another shopping list

So, although Chris feels frustrated as well as perhaps a little guilty for the apparent lack of progress over the summer period, the project has methodically matured due to these numerous impressive modifications. But, perhaps the most baffling element over the past few months is the lack of contact with young ‘Danny the Painter’ particularly his apparent apathy. He also, seems to be ignoring phone calls requesting him to paint the car. We may have to make some executive decisions about this? 

All of this recent enterprise as also produced another ‘programme of work’ that has been written up by Colin. This should be the definitive final schedule that could see the Burlington completed, perhaps, because Colin has produced this ‘order of work’ Chris may actually take some notice. There is also the inevitable shopping list.
