Happy birthday America! And happy birthday Gabby? Today my operation grew to a 7x7 meter situation. The terrace wall -- or another stone feature -- appears to continue into the southern baulk so we added a meter. We also extended two meters west and will hopefully here have the floor to our possible room. The expansion process is, as always, annoyingly slow. I busied myself with taking measurements and drawing what, of the walls, was easily visible.
Morale is high in T43 -- the continuation of architecture is good for everyone's spirits including mine! Ani visited the trench today, which also brought about cheery joy!
