Happy Fathers Day @Pete_the_painter. I had a nice card and box of boutique beer chocolates for my present and a nice BBQ cooked breakfast.

Whatever the name, congrats on the win. And they arenāt even being paid $27 million a year each, which is actually what makes it worth watching and congratulating.
Would love to have seen the match. Was it televised? I donāt get many sports channels tho.
It was live streamed apparently but we didnāt to see it unfortunately.

I think you mentioned that you are recycling the bricks, so that will slow things down. Looks close to being done though?
Iām hoping itāll all be down this time next week. The builder and his father work well so far so good. Weāre reusing the awning (a council thing) and theyāre working on that itās a bit slow. Safety is always my first priority a product of working with trie one builders in Sydneyās CBD. I have pull my head in sometimes as these country folk are more relaxed.
I only inspect once a day.

My Manchesster buddy and I made the mistake of emptying a full bottle of Glenfiddich Solera Reserve, one short evening, and when I went to the loo which is right beside the bathtub, the shower curtain attacked me! (You can imagine the result).
Itās been 3 years since, and I still endure wisecracks sometimes when I use their loo ā¦

Good one Pete
What are premises either side of you ? I guess retail stores of some sort ?
National Parks and Wildlife one side a bakery in the other. The bakery is probably the busiest shop in town.
The Garden of Roses Cafe bit wonāt come down till Monday. Iām worried the heritage nannies will block the demo when they see it. Weāve had people stopping and taking photos all afternoon.
