The footprint of the buildings is clearly taking shape as the ground was further levelled out ready for the foundation trenches to go in – and the natural slope of the site is more clearly evident.

Just out of shot to the left there’s a mini crusher ready to work on the pile of concrete chunks from the demolition of the old floor slabs – though those need a bit more preparation to remove the reinforcing steel from some of the pre-cast concrete units.

This was the first of the reinstated automated daily posts, where a simple placeholder with a site photo from 12:00 gets uploaded every weekday – then manually edited later. WP-CLI does most of the work.
