14th August 2018
I was awake bright and early, now I had a working shower it was just like home. The coffee was brewing and the toast was browning. Andy was bright and early and ready to start. Nicola and Colin arrived mid morning and started on the garden. Today was rip anything out that didn’t belong day. Colin was pulling out some stalks when he let out a high-pitched squeal. There in front of him was a toad. I didn’t hear if the amphibian squeaked when he saw Colin, but Nicola dealt with the situation.
I managed to cut the window sill to fit, but could not start the bathroom shelf as I needed a long router bit, but a trip to Screwfix will solve that problem.
I went down to Ryan and Louise’s to be briefed on the dog feeding regime. That is a bit of a joke because Dexter roams around like a great white shark constantly looking for any form of food left unattended. The tuffs of hair on of his head just visible above the table top. He moves round and round, traversing back, and forth, you always have to be vigilant, you cannot let up for a moment.
Young Bobby, the young apprentice is just as bad. I had the little darlings for just two nights, I know I will regret it. At every opportunity they bark, one sets the other off, and the noise cuts through me. Kelli hears them down the phone, and can’t understand what they are barking at, or about. It’s no good asking me.
