Getting The roof Fixed and Authumn Plans-Redwall Log-10-8-22

WHO:

Krisha-Badger Mother

Benar-Abbot

Gorvenalus-Recorder

LOG:

It is starting rain and wind is turning and the Bells are ringing "BOOM BONG BOOM" as they call out to let everyone know about the encoraching weather. Benar is stood at the bottom of the scaffolding gesturing for the work-crew of squirrels, otters, moles and mice to get inside.   

"Hurry inside everyone, Tabitha says the hole in the roof is covered, so we can get back to work later, inside everyone."   

Krisha had let the dibbuns out for a little while yo play, most of them head inside when the rain started, and of course there is always the one dibbun who doesn't as she is carring a young dibbun vole.She stops by Benar and glaces up at the roof,'I am surprised this many decided to brave the roof , suppose it's good. It will be fixed sooner that way and hopfully in time for the season feast or least by winter"   

Benar says, "Well ideally we'll have it fixed before the really bad autumn weather sets in," Benar says looking up, "The hole is quite big and will ruin the Sparra loft and our higher rooms if we don't sort it."
   
Krisha nods,she passes the vole dibbun off to Sister Anna before she speaks again" Guess no one noticed it sooner since we don't go in the attic or that old office as much. We should do something with that office once the roof is fixed,not sure what though"
   
Benar says, "Well you won't see it from the office," the squirrel says, "That office is a good few storeys below the hole in the roof, you have to go through the attic, through the sparra loft and then you can see the hole."
   
Krisha nods,a soft chuckle"Not a place I would be unless a dibbun decided to go up there.The dibbun have been fairly good lately."   

Benar says, "Well the dibbuns can't get into the sparra loft anyway, there is no way up to there through a staircase it takes quite a lot of climbing to reach the loft"

Krisha says, "Thats good then. How are the sparra doing? I haven't seen them as much lately. The queen sparra's son hasn't be around much either. I think his name is Anil..he would sneakk down and play with the abbey dibbuns sometimes"
   
Benar says, "The Sparra are doing ok, they don't like us being up there, but they want the hole in their nest fixed so they are tolerating us.""

Krisha nods'Makes sense nd likely keeping an eye on those who are up there. I get along with them when they are around the grounds, Oz seems to get along with them as well.And their speech is one of the eaiser ones to learn."
   
Benar says, "Sparra speech is a lot easier to pick up then some of the others, Bees is tricky, Mole can be a right pain to get right"

Krisha frowns'It took me a long while to learn mole. I achally got help from foremole'She smiles" He helped alot and now I know it.Bees...never knew one could talk to them. I had read the GUOSIM supposely knew the bee speech very good but it seems they are off somewhere again,no clue where but hopefully where ever they are they are safe. From what I heard the woods and road have been peaceful lately.I just hope the peace stays."   

Benar says, "Well I do like things to be peaceful," he smiled, "We have a hole in our roof, I don't need some army at the gate causing me a headache either."
   
Krisha says, "I agree and the peace should stay.We do have the post 67th around now. Haveing a small group of hares around is good."Another chuckle"Most of the time, they do seem to try and find excuses to..check up on the abbey and try to get thier idea of a snack from the kitchens. I had to escort Cole out of the kitchens before he went back to the base."

Benar says, "Well the hares are never subtle when it comes to enjoying Redwall's kitchen, I just hope we don't send a bunch of fat hares back to Salamandastron when their time at the 67th is over."
   
Krisha chuckles,"I am sort thier Captain will keep them in shape and I think they are staying long term to help keep the peace."
   
Benar it is starting to get windier and the rain is getting heavier, Benar looks up as Tabitha comes down the scaffolding, the red squirrel nods to the Badger Mother, "ALl clear up there, lets get inside, we can resume work on it later."   

Krisha says, "I think we all should go inside the rain is getting a bit harder"
   
Gorvenalus is just inside where the dorm hall is,he hmmms"Oh is it raining? I have been a bit busy catching up on some recorder logs for the abbey and cleaning the library a bit."   

Benar says, "Hello Gorve," Benar smiiles and lowers his hood, "Just started, blowing in from the north, but Tabitha has covers over the hole in the roof so that is good."
   
Krisha nods a hello to the beaver"Hello, yes it is raining but rain in the authumn dont usually last too long, it will likely be on and off my guess."   

Gorvenalus offers a smile"Yes weather can be tricky,but it doesn't seem to be too bad, or least I dont think so, usually my jionts hurt if we are close to getting a bad enough storm."   

Benar says, "Still this gives me a chance to check on the kiln and see how the tile making is going, we nearly have enough fired and glazed for the hole in the roof and other work we are doing."
   
Krisha is quiet a morment before speaking"We could head over there if you like.I usually avoid it but..well would be good to get out of the rain."
   
Gorvenalus smiles"A lot to do this autumn season it would seem.But things are very good haverst wise and winter is still a fair ways off"   

Benar says, "Elder Elmef says that harvest should be a success we are going to be laden with food."
   
Krisha smiles a little"That's good, do we know when the authumn feast is going to be? It's usually one of the bigger season feasts."   

Gorvenalus says, "We should plan something a little different this season and it could be right before or right after the feast. A sort of maybe story contest by the firepit have roasted apples and cider""

Benar says, "Story Contest on the same day as the feast is always popular, if we get the good weather we can host it outside as you say"
   
Krisha says, "I like that idea and someone can make decorations with the colored leaves maybe. It could be fun and I could maybe have a bit of a dibbun campout..maybe anyways the dibbuns do like those every so often"   

Gorvenalus says, "we could even plan a couple other events as a sort of..lead up to the feast prehaps.It has been some time since anyone has had time to relax and have a bit of fun"

Benar says, "Some sort of design contest with the fallen leaves would be delightful, we could get people to make diaromas or displays using the leaves and autumn themes"
   
Krisha says, "yeah and everyone likes a contest and these are a bit createive too. Could indeed be fun and they get to make something for a table or even a table for them to be displayed on"   

Gorvenalus listens quietly as the ideas are said.A smile as he is glad of some cheer in the abbey.   
Benar says, "Well then Krisha I leave you in charge of organising this contest and letting beasts kno"   

Krisha nods "Of course Benar,I will get that together soon and let others know of the idea.And it's not just a dibbun contest either..the adults can enter as well.Besides we need some more cheer around the abbey and less not so cheer and it can fi bordom if anyone mentions that."   

Gorvenalus chuckles"Indeed, a better idea instead of have more chores.Sometimes I think too much chores can be given to a beast who claims to be bore.Etra chores are more a fitting punishment for misbehavior"   

Benar says, "Well then this sounds like an excellent thing to look forwards to," he smiled, "And less beasts doing chores for misbehaving would be good"

Krisha shrugs "It depends on why they were punished in the first place. There is times when its needed."She sighs and then goes to head inside"I need to check on the dibbuns,talk to you all at dinner"
   
Gorvenalus waves a goodbye "Maybe or find something else."He chuckles "Prehaps a leacture."   

Benar says, "Well I will leave that to both of you, for now I have to go and do some paperwork I will see you all soon," he smiled, "Have a good day both of you"
