I Need to Get Out More

Conversation with one of the builders doing our garage earlier today.

Him: Sorry to bother you, don't suppose I can borrow a spoon please?

Me: Yes, sure - just a teaspoon?

Him: Yes, I just need it to eat my tin of sardines.

Cue hysterical laughter from myself and puzzled look from him.

Clearly, my online persona is taking over.

Before...

I may be a little pre-occupied over the coming few weeks. Project "new garage and garden redesign" starts on Tuesday. Yay! As you can see, it is long overdue:

All this is coming out, with a nice shiny big double garage across the back of the garden. It is a little sad in some ways, as we will lose quite a bit of the garden, but given that on-street parking is not really the best option with small children (plus the fact that it is nigh-on impossible to find a space), it is totally necessary.
