I have unwelcome visitors in my kitchen - Tom and M! I opened the dishwasher up at lunchtime and thought how lovely it was to find it pretty much empty. You can bet that next time I look there'll be glasses wedged in precariously and not a bit of space for anything else - they're cooking judging by the smells drifting up

16 books for 3 euros - now I'm happy

Thank God that's stopped for a while!

They're replacing all the street lights around here (actually I think they're gradually being done everywhere).
Today at 8am they started, digging the holes for the new ones. Blimey it's such a noise!!
It goes for about 45 minutes, then stops for 5
They did stop for lunch, which was nice

It's like a higher-pitched pneumatic drill...down the road off the main road, onto the one at right angles to ours...several roads to go, including ours

That sounds dreadful Di

Great bargain there Ton!

[Diflower]

It stopped, thank goodness, one more short burst after I posted.
No doubt back tomorrow

Ton 16 books, that should keep you going a while

[Kaz]

Hope it will be finished soon Di

[Diflower]

Hope when they do yours it's nice and cold and you can have all the windows shut

Our estate is only about 7/8 years old, doubt they'd need to for a while! It was fields before that, and an orchard. Hence the apple themed names of the roads - Windfall Way, Green Pippin Close, Braeburn Close

Dunno Kaz - the ones in our little close were done only last year or the year before, switched from the old yellow ones - but these are a new type apparently

Oh right - sounds like a lot of money to lay out to save a few quid
