My block is now resembling an estate development with almost all grass trampled on by the machinery and diggings. My neighbour has decided to address their issues with water run-off, well after their house being built. The same story is happening with the new builds all down the street. With the help of my groundworks manager, Paul, my water issues are being addressed from the outset with serious swales and drains. THe trenches are all ready for the final power and NBN conduits, and water pipes are in the ground with numerous garden taps.

Thus I am left to my own devices to roam the streets seeking entertainment but find that most temples of merchandise are closed, except of course my favourite, the temple of the big red hammer. First thing this morning I go to the temple to make an offering and walked away with a very inexpensive porcelain throne for the water closet and several more trial sprinkler heads. With these boxed gifts, I trek up the block for 256th time so I can chip away at these few jobs that I am qualified to do. One is to create a worksite toilet cubicle in the shed to replace the very expesive hired port-a-loo, and the other is to build an irrigation system for the Gardens of Baby...
