AAAGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!
OK Dougie the Kitchen fitter, we had a chat about you changing the tiles around to what we originally wanted. You did this which was excellent, however what I didn't expect was to come home tonight to find you had tiled the last part of the wall THE WRONG FEKKEN WAY YOU MORON!! IS IT REALLY SO HARD TO DO? ARE YOU SUFFERING FROM TILE BLINDNESS OR SOMETHING OR ARE YOU JUST COMPLETELY DIM? WHAT MAY HAVE HELPED YOU IS IF YOU LOOKED AT THE OTHER 3 WALLS THAT YOU DID CORRECTLY AND TRY TO MATCH IT!!!
Oh yes, one other thing Dear Dougie, please do not throW the water that you used to clean your tiling tools over the Marigolds and Dahlias, Mrs Ianrauk was terribly upset on seeing the mess and will be calling your boss tomorrow.

That seems to be the problem with lots of workmen these days, not all of them, of course. As you say, he did three walls right, so there should not be a problem with the fourth.
Destroying the dahlias, (I assume the bits of grout etc, have stuck to the plants, and will not wash off), is carelessness.
One workman here managed to knock over some plants in some pots. It did not matter that they were knocked over and fallen out of the pot, but he should have told me what happened straight away. Then I could have rescued these comparatively rare, and hard to grow plants, repotted them, and moved them out of his way.
When rewiring a socket in the lounge, the electrician folded back the hallway carpet (with a hessian backing) and then knelt near to the fold, cue one damaged carpet. I could list other equally boring but damaging acts. They do not seem to think do they, so determined are they to finish the job.

I can't help thinking that's quite a slow excavation method, chicken pecking. Slower even than archeaologists.
Any tea on the go, I need warming up. Yes, it's boiling outside, and I had a nice hot walk up here, but this campus computer room has the aircon turned up to 11....
And of course, I haven't brought a sweater or anything...

Oh, and an enormous Tea? hello and thumbs-up to Uncle Phil, who despite his recent off was able to conjour up tea and rockbuns for a party of ravening cyclists who descended on his house (invited, I must make clear, we didn't just turn up and demand catering....).
We had a lovely ride, led by Tinytwin, and the views were definitely worth the effort required to get up to them...

You'd be in error. Once those chicken feet get going, they can dig at a great speed... especially if they have spied something with no internal skeleton and a total number of legs that is not two...

oh well, yes, if they are using their feet... I was thinking more of just their beaks, a bit like Margo harvesting peas in The Good Life....

Right, I'm off home before I freeze....
Have a good afternoon all. I just had a text to say Oli loves him new brio trains - it's his birthday today and they are a stop gap until I can get his bike to him. I rang earlier and he was chattering away in the background and when my sis asked him how old he was today, he said "Happy 2!". I think he's getting a bit mixed up with 'happy birthday!'
They went to the zoo yesterday and saw tigers, and apparently they said "roarrr".
I also got him "Oliver the Western Engine" from the Thomas series, and look forward to hearing him try to say 'sagacious', which is used in the story...

Happy birthday to Oli!!
The Men, having been hard-at-it all day in the garden, are about to come in for *food*
So I have prepared roast beef, roast potatoes, carrots, cabbage french & runner beans (all the veg being from either my garden or Bill's veg plot) and lashings of GRAVY. None of this mamby-pamby 'jus' lark. But real, proper, beef gravy. And BEER. And CIDER.

Just in from taking Miss tdr1nka to visit her Grandma(my Mum)at the Old Actor's Home in Pinner.
It was a beautiful day and to top it off the family, my Brother being in attendance too, had after lunch coffee chatting with the wonderful Billie Whitelaw.
Which was nice.
Sorry about the name dropping, tea anyone?
