I built a temporary shelter for the woodpile outside the french windows and tiled it with some tiles that were lying around, they are flat and interlock to become waterproof, but they're not fastened down, so would blow off in a strong wind without rocks to anchor the top/end layers. Same for the postbox up on the main road, tiled with even older tapered "half-pipe" tiles. You put an overlapping layer down first with the cup up, and then a second overlapping layer with the cup down. All completely waterproof, but not fastened down, so has a large rock on top. Happy Thanksgiving to all Americans from a Brrit in Italy !

PS: I also asked about their sundials.

Whatever day they arrived in Oz I guess  PS: I also asked about their sundials. Sundials in Oz have to be kept under a sunshade and slathered in suncream.
