Many times recently I’ve said to Lo, she is a terrible Goddess “That’s the last of the really messy and dusty stuff” over at the Cliff Top Residence. It has always been one of my main duties to ensure that the TG doesn’t encounter the ‘dirty’ side of building.
.

She’ll quite happily (not quite le mot juste, Peabain. Lo,TG Ed) plunge her rubber covered hands down lavatories that have been used by any and all passing vagrants. She’ll cover herself in paint when necessary. She’ll degrease those things that need degreasing but she will not, indeed cannot, tolerate cement dust, rubble dust, brick dust or plaster dust.
Anyway, I really have, very nearly, reached that point where dust of any description will just be a best forgotten memory.
[I’ve just got to plaster the reveals in the shower room and in the second bedroom …….. oooooo, and rub down that filler just above where the skirting boards are going and knock those holes through the walls for the drainage in the kitchen and the shower room, plaster the garage after taking the wall down at the end ………… and then replacing the door-linings is going to be a tad messy]
……. “ Darling, when I said that’s the end of the messy stuff ……. well ………”

you are going to be in trouble….
Your warning has arrived a tad too late – about 45 years too late actually …….
“…. you were fibbing?”
Sort of, in a way, perhaps a tad over-optimistic ……… lazy?
That does sound ‘very nearly’ when you think of what it was like and how many walls you have knocked through etc….
I must agree with TG though building dust etc is so yuk…. but so are toilets used by any passing vagrants.. think I would have to pick dust given those 2 choices….
I’m not getting emails through to tell me when you’ve left a comment!!!! Have you broken Wordpress?!!!!
Nearly, but not quite ……. like so much of life – tee hee
it wasn’t me guv that broke it. Is that me specifically ??
oh btw should there be a ‘ after 70 in your blogroll?
See – I didn’t get notification of this – I was just passing ………..
It’s very odd, some send me a message and some don’t – I still reckon you’ve done something ….
How’s the shoulder brave little soldier?
Are your notifications working now?
I am carrying on womanfully thank you (hey I can almost put my right hand on my head without screaming……)
No they aren’t!!!! What have you done? Luckily I’m just writing a weeks worth of posts as it’s going to be a particularly busy week ……. kitchen arriving on Thursday ……. in bits ……. ho hum.
You’ll have to brush up on your Latin for this coming week ……. I’m sooooooo cerebral – tee hee
Actually it isn’t your fault – I’m informed by Penfold that Wordpress it playing up ……
Here’s some practice for you:
Si Hoc Legere Scis Nimium Eruditionis Habes
……. good luck!
ooo I am over educated [isn't google ace?... *snigger]
Shall I take that as an apology ….. mmm?
An apology!!!!!!! are you mad!!!?! …….
I refuse to answer that question in case it comes back to haunt me…….
Tee hee …….
she is mad i can vouch for that….
The truth will out ……..
I can hear you two… what is that expression? ‘takes one to know one’
Anyway I am trying to watch Sharpes Peril…
oh don’t be so touchy if we haven’t got you to torment who can we…..
can’t argue with that Annie…..
Come on everyone – *group hug*
If you need any more, I have bucketloads out here in the desert. An attractive shade of red and I can let you have it for prices which will convince you it has fallen off the back of a truck. Guaranteed the dustiest dust you will ever see or need.
I keep shaking dust cloths out in the garden – I have a suspicion that some may have floated your way – for which I apologise ………..
I think that floating was in my direction. As soon as I can make it down the stairs to the door, I’ll be notifying someone to come have a “talk” with you about that. Dust is evil.
…… and my apologies to you as well young Fracarse. I had no idea that my actions were so thoughtless [and widespraed] – chaos theory in practice I suppose ……. oh dear
How much more do you have to finish before you’re finally done?
There’s a bathroom to finish, a shower room to make, a kitchen to put in, skirting boards and architraves to re-place, new doors to hang, a garage to convert, the garden to landscape, a shed to build ………. and the grass needs cutting ……… oooo, and a loft to board over for storage, neighbours to placate, some outside drainage to finish, the outside to be rendered, the oak flooring to be laid, the internet to be connected!!!!, curtain rails to be fixed, clothes rails to be fixed, the doors between the conservatory and the living room to be re-placed …….. so I think I’m almost there.
I see you’ve not mentioned the new office for your secretary? Have you learned to retrieve your own memos from the floor now?
I say, miracles do happen!
The office will be in the converted garage young Fraccy …… complete with VERY comfortable chairs. It might be ready in 2010 ……. you might be fully recovered by then ……
Oooooo …… when you bend over now I might see your operation!! When are you coming back to work? …… just asking ……..
