Day 10 - The terror goes on

wild mountain man knife thrower during sermonFor the purposes of eliciting sympathy I shall count the building works as from when WindowMan started work and this endless miasma of dust began, the motes of all nations suspended in the sunlit air like a cataract snowstorm, giving us all our daily intake of dietary fibre whether we want it or not.

But the kind builders have set up the old sink from the second daft kitchen into the old destroyed bathroom, making it the third exciting teeth-cleaning venue in the last week. I may try to increase my score by using the main kitchen sink (better now they've put the silicone sealant around the edge) and the one in the second daft bathroom (with The Tap That Does Not Turn Off).
During the day, some nice if persistent people knocked on the door and said they had witnessed jehovah. A builder answered and was given a lecture and a pamphlet about gods, sadly we no longer have a bonfire but I did put it to good use in the compost.

After school we did Park Thursday. Many known faces were there and we had our picnic of real food obediently and then played pseudo-football against the wall of the barn for an hour in the lovely sunshine. I'm surprised no shirts came off but we all got a dose of Vitamin D anyway. As soon as we got back I was scheduled to shower to save time, then we scheduled in some power to the TV room before it was booked by the computer.
