Fun

Now that was what I call Fun. Lots of noises out front so went to investigate. Several workmen all digging in the drain at the side of the road. So went to help. Was a bit crowded but got to the front and saw they were cleaning out the old drain that goes down the hill and under the road to the ditch on the other side. (About time too as every time it rains the road floods.)

Very messy procedure what with wet leaves, twigs and a dead rat (Too far gone to interest me unfortunately - Comes from having aristocratic family connections) all being dragged out, but the men seemed glad to see me. And asked me to help by searching through the rubbish they got out in case there was anything valuable in it.

Spent several hours assisting and then they packed up and took it with them. Think they'll be back though because they left a big sign saying Roadworks.
