I'm taking this week off work because I have contractors at the house drilling in a damp-proof course and repairing the front facade. 
It happens to coincide with the bottom of the road being resurfaced so I was enjoying the big machinery. 
The resurfacing had closed off the access to a couple of churches which was giving a funeral director who was desperately trying to reroute a horse-drawn funeral coming in from a village three and a half miles away something of a headache. 
At a house across the street from the church an Indian family was gathering for a wedding involving a pink Lamborghini and a black G-Wagen. 
My neighbourhood is just so exciting.
