Robin's had a Fast Day, it seems.

A fast day for Robin? ... rather than "fast", with supper not until midnight, I'd call it a "fasting" day.

Bravo, Robin! It sounds like it was a truly marvelous* day. I'm happy for all you managed to accomplish today. May the ME make an extended visit to its mother's and decide that they actually get along quite well...

I must confess though, that when I read ^this^ after having read about the cafe furniture in the garden that is mostly lost in/under/among the garden I had this vision of a light greenish piano hiding/lost in another corner of your small garden and you cautiously moving the plants to/from the Sitting-Room Jungle and re-discovering the piano's existence and sitting down among the plants to play on one of the reclaimed cafe chairs...

Good gracious. I'm exhausted just reading about your day. Yay on the various things that need yaying, and yes on the things that need yessing (the posts you owe!), and chocolate on the things that require chocolate to recover from. I hope you're getting lots of very solid sleep now. You deserve it! (And many spoons tomorrow.)
Smooshes!

That sounds likely.

I should have realised when the Chief Builder asked *several times* in an earnest and searching manner if there would be *no one living there* while they were doing the work, that it was a Bad Sign.
|
It also means that they don't have to worry about being *fast*.

You really DO know too much about builders, don't you?!? Yes. This had also occurred to me. Every time I go over there there seem to be an AWFUL LOT of tea mugs in the sink.

Hehe.... our builders camped out originally on site. That was up until all our little marsupial antechinus decided that their sleeping bags were a WONDERFUL IDEA.
muahahahahahahaha

On the other hand, I didn't exactly notice our builders speeding up because we were living there.  Ah, those were the days - the pickup truck in the driveway at 5 AM, the permanent PortaPotty in the garden (and the once a week visit from a very lonely pump guy), walking out into the kitchen in my PJs and finding five men standing there discussing plumbing pipes, followed by the complete absence of progress for weeks at a time...

Oops! Yes, sounds as if there was definitely a reason they asked so specifically... Can't you tell them you live there when the moon is full?
