Having sanded down the paintwork in the back, and last remaining, bedroom yesterday, I managed to do the undercoating before going to the Climbing Unit with two friends at lunchtime. 

Onto B&Q for paint for the aluminium covered concrete canopy over the front door, which I've researched and hope I've got right. Now I need dry weather!

Out into the garden to lift some more of the concrete edging blocks, I've now moved a third of them. I noticed the bird bath saucer was full of seeds, I think they're from the many silver birch trees around here and at the moment they're everywhere with this wind!
