No art this Monday as Sheila and Klaus are saying goodbye to their visitors and, as we have Jane and John staying next weekend I will be cancelling next Monday as well. At this rate I am going to have to take some medication as I will be suffering from withdrawal symptoms!!
We are rather glad that Vicki and Trevor aren't here today as we are at home to a field full of heavy plant and lorries and diggers and the roller that shakes your body to the core. The road will soon be completed - boo hiss - and we will no longer live in a cul-de-sac which wont really bother us but is a shame for Sharon and Shaun who will now have traffic going past their house. The cats will have to stop sleeping in the middle of the road and spinning the car round at the top of the road will be very inadvisable! Pants to Progress is what we say!
There is a sad side to this story as the pot guy is from Syria and has witnessed some horrendous atrocities during the recent troubles - I wont go into detail but lets just say the World we live in can be a terrible place sometimes and if all we have to worry about is some building going on next door then really we have nothing to moan about at all.
I had taken my Greek homework out to the front garden as it is sheltered and secluded there so I couldn't see the diggers and it was slightly less noisy. This will probably become a favourite spot when they start building in earnest so we are keen to make the most of the space. I suggested putting some railings and trellis around the decking so that I could grow something up and around the area and John actually thought it was a good idea so that is going to be a project for him in the future. We are also considering getting some solar decking lights and some solar lights to sit on the fence posts between us and Paul next door. Solar = no running costs and we are all for that!
Whilst out in the garden George and Pam came round to return the garden tools they had borrowed from us. The hedge trimmer was returned with a completely new flex - apparently George was just doing the last little bit of the bush by his bedroom when he managed to chop through the cable and was mortified. Blimey I think he was lucky not to have done himself some damage. John was so cross that George decided to get it repaired because John could have done it himself. Instead George took the hedge trimmer to Glykkis in Prodromi and Maria sent it to their technicians in Nicosia where it was repaired and returned for €25!
