Progress on the new boat continues. Wooden handrails look to be of good quality, and today they used an oxy-acetelyne cutter to make 2 holes, probably for a bilge pump. They will mount a small generator in the bows where it can also operate the windlass for the anchor.
It was quite cloudy at moonrise, but I've included a couple of pictures of it from the RRH. Stella there has gone up 25% as expected. I suspect the government has also increased tobacco duty. The subsidised bread ration has been reduced from 5 flat breads to 3 for Le1 per family. Fayrouz prices will no doubt rise again tomorrow, so I splashed out on the last pre-increase Obelisk. It went down very well with the mushroom pizza.
