stuff you're doing while at home

this morning the delivery came bright and early, i hadn't even had a cuppa
the driver was helpful as usual getting them into what was an awkward area under a tree. the depot had decided in their wisdom not to put the cement on a pallet, ohhhh no that would be far too easy instead they put 8 bags in each bulk bag of ballast on top of the ballast . now i planned to get the cement put on my drive as it'll go in the garage (read dry) 'til we use it. now i had to get 1000kg of cement across the road (downhill) and into my garage. 10 trips, 100kgs a go in my trusty wheelbarrow later and i was really 'needing' that first cup of tea dawn laughed when i came indoors, she thought i was trying to be a smurf! the blue from the labels on the cement bags had stuck to my front, arms and hands where i'd got a bit sweaty. so the tea had to wait while i had a shower, but it was very nice all the same.
next job, shuttering when the boards arrive friday.
neil.
