BLOODY HELL IT'S DARK OUT THERE!

 Well... we are up and it's the friggin middle of the night!

Waiting for the guys to arrive ... they have to set up the lights etc.

The concrete truck is due here at 5 am.

We are rather excited....

Catch ya later...

ABOVE:  4.45 am, all set up, just waiting for the truck now.

ABOVE:  And here she comes!  And I do mean 'she'.... the driver is a woman.  We can do anything.

ABOVE: And there it goes... the very first pour of concrete on the driveway!

There will be a total of 3 to 3 and a half trucks loads going on over the next few hours.

ABOVE:  And there it is!  The first pour.  Isn't it exciting?

ABOVE:  Amazing how much they have done already.  It's 6.40 am and the 2nd truck is about to leave.

6.50 am....

ABOVE:   Bye Darling, have a nice day at work.  

He got through the fence just fine. 😂😅😊

ABOVE:  And then it was our Miss Muppet's turn to go through the fence.  Off to school, see you in two weeks honey.  

ABOVE:  Now the finessing starts.  They are doing all the edges BEAUTIFULLY, and then doing finishing on the whole area.

I have no idea how the end result will look!

ABOVE:  The whirly gig thingee.... then the men got on their knees and smoothed it by hand!

ABOVE:  Almost done.

ABOVE:  Giovanni putting the final touch on...

ABOVE:  My metal thingee.   

Giovanni loved the idea, and now wants to get a stamp so he can leave his 'LOGO' on his work.

Bloody neat idea Gio.

ABOVE:  It's still drying, and we can't walk on it until at least tomorrow.   It will lighten up quite a bit too.

Which is excellent, it won't be too hot in summer to walk on.  It's not white, white concrete, which would have looked stark.

Right, better get out there and keep an eye out for anyone who MIGHT think of walking or riding their bike on it!

At least until I know all the school kids have gone home!

Brylee is keeping me company.  She even went and bought us some lunch.  Nice girl.

2.45 pm. Probably one more hour until I can go back inside. By then all the school kids will have gone by.

I can't wait until I can finally RELAX.  I've been awake since 3.45 am. I'm kinda tired 😫 😴 😪. 

A bonus of sitting on ya grass verge? People stop and yak. So nice. It reminds me of lockdown, when people stopped to talk about my tree.

I forgot to say... it took three full concrete truck loads to do our driveway.  That's a lot of concrete!

Steve stopped in on his way home from work to have a look at the driveway.  He is very impressed.  That's a relief... 😂😅😋, it's gotta pass the 'Steve Test'.
