Remote

Dex and I decamped from our building site to the clean and spacious quiet surroundings of his grandad's flat. Rob kindly let us hang out there while he went to work. Very handy.
Also today was a visit to the plumbers merchant to pick out taps (bloody hell they're expensive!), a stroll along the canal and a walk down to pick Sam up from work in Stockbridge. I was even allowed a quick half pint in the 'Tap while Sam took Dex a walk round the block.
It almost felt like being on maternity leave again.

In bathroom news, they finally managed to remove the concrete and free the pipes from within. Still need to rebuild the floor. Superfluous steel joists also removed. Walls all taken down to the brick. We expect to be flushing the toilet with a bucket for a while yet. Who's idea was this bathroom refurbished anyway?!*

In Dexter news- the cold seems to be clearing up. He's almost back to full health. That is apart from the random plukes that have appeared on his elbows and hip...

*yes, of course it was my idea. Had to persuade Sam it was a great idea and that it wouldn't be too disruptive. Er, yeah.
