The concrete guys worked till it was dark last night.
I think they wanted to get as much done yesterday as possible, so they didn't have to spend all day today getting all the prep work done.
ABOVE: I think today 'all' they have to do is lay out the rest of the steel mesh.They have done about a quarter of it so far.
So, hopefully they get that done and can enjoy at least half a day 'off' this afternoon.
They have been working 15 hour days this past week!
As for us?
We get to watch and feel lazy.
And that's all I have for now.
Catch ya later.
ABOVE: 10 am: And... Gio and his wife arrived nice and early and got the rest of the mesh down and linked together. Such a hard working, lovely couple.
I've just had breakfast (hot cross buns), now we are debating what to do with our day.
I'd like to buy some plain white sneakers for winter, so we shall probably end up at The Base a bit later on.
We didn't linger at The Base as I was feeling really tired, clearly not quite over the fatigue yet.
ABOVE: We got home and the kids visited us. We did end up buying the Letterbox Book, and it's been quite popular to flick through.
We were surprised at how lovely the book is, and it's size.
ANON: Yes, that kid is Dante. He's a right hard case kid. God help us all once he's a teenager!
Dinner tonight, to feed a crowd, was macaroni cheese and sausages, followed by Magnum Ice Creams for dessert.
It was lovely to have our usual crowd here ... but they have all dispersed, and it's just Stew and I now.
An early night is on the cards as I'm tired.
I went to bed quite early last night too.
This is down to 'covid fatigue' I'm sure.
It will be nice to feel 'normal' again. I hope it's soon!
Catch ya tomorrow.
Ask them if they’ve had to fix up anymore of that other companies stuff ups. Maybe a cake or 2 for them or your amazing club sandwiches. 😁
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Blondie 👍👍 Chris is great at feeding the masses. We had fish and chips last night we're both a little unwell bugger it all 🙄🙄 Guy's truck is part of a funeral procession today for a 20 year old man who died from a rare type of genetically passed on liver cancer his father died of it at age 34 so very sad 😔 💙💙
