Noise!

 

Noise!

We are having a lot of work done on the ageing roof of our house. Today it has involved the erection of scaffolding, which is a very noisy process.

The scaffolders have been drilling, sawing, screwing, and dropping scaffolding for several hours now. The dogs have given up barking. I wish I could say my head had given up aching.

 Later, maybe . . .

Tomorrow, a huge skip is being delivered to collect all the rubbish which will come from the removal of damp felt, membranes, timbers, and birds’ empty nests. The tiles will be reused, so that’s something to celebrate.

At least we shall have a leak-proof roof by the time all the workmen have gone, by the end of the week. It is not what we were planning but sometimes these events are thrust upon us.

Happy Days are here again!

Scaffolding

 

Scaffolding






Shortly after being photographed, the amaryllis fell over. Scaffolding was erected hastily. Earth was added to the pot and it looks much happier now.

Meanwhile, the sitting room bulb continues to push forth its green shoots. The one in the conservatory is far behind.
