Plasterer thinks flooring people have an easy life. Turn up at 8.30, pour some leveling fluid over the floor for an hour, maybe two, then go away again. If he was here today he’d certainly have signed up for retraining. The final flooring man poured the latex surface over the floor, cut out the floor templates in the front room and then sat and read his paper for three hours or so. He was waiting for the floor to ‘go off’ which means ‘to dry’ for everyone else. not sure if there’s anything more technical hidden in that phrase. Waiting for the floor to ‘cure’ is also another way of putting it. I think I need some more technical terms for what I do. A neat euphemism that makes lethargy sound like something highly technical, highly skilled process.

it’ll be just like starting over
I have attempted blogging before and always failed due to:
1: lack of time
2: over worried about what I’ve said and need to edit / censor
3: over worried about spelling
4: fear of failure (probably – see above)
This one shall be different. Oh yes, just watch how different it is, boy oh boy so different I can’t begin to tell you.
Current status:
House: in process of being bought. Quotes are in for the following activities: damp proofing, replacement of radiators and pipework, complete rewiring job, reroofing job, and several other things that make it look like this is a build it up from the ground again job. It kind of is, but it’ll be fab to do. And to finally live in. We have yet to peruse the builder’s full quote as it goes on and on for ages.
Boy: Arlo in good form, if over tired (as is his dad, lets face it) after a few days of being away. We have glowing reports from medical teams, happy relatives and a boy who dances to Reuben Gonzales and insists that bear dances too. He’s now asleep. Lord knows what he’ll make of the rewiring work. Thankfully he won’t be in the house at the same time.
We’re in the last week of house sitting before returning to lodging at rooms with Grandparents. Another day or so of moving boxes and bags looms on the horizon. Huzzah!
Rain is falling again. Has summer happened?
