I intend to use stretcher bond to build single block walls but will
obviously have to cut blocks to fit in doors and windows and also
where the wall length is not divisible by the block length.

I find it quicker and easier to use bricks to fill in odd shapes. Some
still need to be cut, but that is easily done with a bolster chisel.

I am trying to avoid mixing concrete bricks and blocks as much as
possible because of the appearance...

It never occurred to me that anyone using blockwork would be concerned
about the appearance :-)
