Day 75


(2nd version!)

I managed to delete the first one! Ooops!

We got up bright and early at 6am to get a head start on the day, good job. Well by 8.30am I had just managed to squeeze in my breakfast before Dawn arrived.

Big Ian here with decisions to be made on decking, tiling, sockets etc.All fine, but it would have been nicer if I had eaten first! The raging war over outside sockets has been solved by Ian, I think he was surprised at the issues it was causing!

Graham the gardener turned up as expected so another white van in the driveway!

So at one point we had 2 tilers, 2 builders, a plumber and a gardener and Dawn. I'm certainly doing my bit to keep the local unemployment figures down!

Brilliant job Graham - and he told us he won Best Delphinium person at the RHS show at Wisely. He won 8 classes - can't get much better than that!

3pm and suddenly my driveway is clear of the boards that have covered it for the past 12 weeks - wonderful - maybe car parking issues are at an end. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

And the tiling looks great too. K and W (ex roofers now tilers) just go about their work relentlessly, never wanting coffee and a chat!

So its 5pm, all is quite - Radio 1 has disappeared! A huge leap forward this week. There's been some work done on the verandah this afternoon by G and W but I'm not too sure what they were doing!

WineO'clock!
