The house that I blipped on 12 July definitely has the builders in now, They have taken the roof totally off, but they have put big hoardings all around it so I can't see too much, (I am nosy though).
I managed to do some chores this afternoon, and dried the washing in a few goes, it has rained a few times, but not enough to water the garden, just enough to make me keep getting the washing in.
