Oh how nice. 8am and both workers are here. It’s currently not raining so they are scrapping the woodwork out the back. The rainbow maker has just burst into action and for the first time all week I can see the sun.
9am The scaffolders are back but are sitting outside the house in their lorry.
9.10am The lads have started putting the scaff up.
9.20am I haven’t been able to use my kitchen window ever, that’s 10 years as it sticks at the bottom and needs a giant yank to shut it. Seeing as it’s a huge pane of glass with rotten beading and putty holding it together, I’ve never wanted to risk it landing on the neighbour’s conservatory. Ivan, my new NOT LAZY worker has kindly sorted the situation with my mini planer. It’s going to be bliss being able to open and shut that window.
On the downside, I disturbed approx 9 or 10 sleeping ladybirds when I opened the window. They really do not like being disturbed.
10am Tea break. An industrious time for the robins and blue tits. Now it can take years to train birds to come to your feeders. I have waited at least 1 ½ years to see as much activity as I have and I’ve been really nervous all morning that the noise and activity from the workers would scare my birds away. The work is taking place on top of their feeders. Literally. But I must either have very brave birds or conditions are such that they simply cannot be so timid. They are feeding away and using the scaffold tower as a great big tree.

Thanks - I'd forgotten what a clock looked like. ITs for telling the time, isn't it??
