Jobs End.

The men arrived very early and I got dressed hastily! I have already been out and talked to them...accompanied by several very vocal cocks . The men were already on the roof when I saw them and when the boss arrived we stood and watched their progress as they prepared the wall for the next event. They are going to paint it to match the rest of the house! A discusion took place as to the colour to match it! After all that I came in to check my bank account to make sure I can cover it. I can but there wont be much left! We are now at the stage where we can exchange the odd joke...and are all on first name terms. " Better ask Jean" one of them told the boss when colours were being discussed. At the start of this enterprise I never guessed how it would finish. But the truth is they have been good to have around and I will miss them when they go! But it has changed my mind on my old age activities. I will not go into the old peoples home in the next village whilst I can get around here. Walking the garden every day is keeping me fit! And in the absence of going to church I will let it be known that some visitors would be welcome too. Last time I said that I got rather too many but after this week of having people around all the time I know I can cope! So its an ill wind that blows no one any good. Another truth it seems!
