I went to Tesco on the way home from work to get sausages, bacon etc for breakfast rolls to feed the friends (and numerous onlookers no doubt) that are coming round to take pictures or video the event, not sure how many are going to turn up but we have a horrible feeling it is going to be a bit like a three ring circus.
On arriving home I found Paul outside still sorting stuff out, he has put some timber up on the side of the house, just in case, and sorting the placing of the telegraph poles and setting up a camera. At the moment (its now 11pm) he is disconnecting and moving all the electric, network and phone cables that run from the house to his workshop as they are in the way.
The council have put up the road closure signs on the lampposts and after midnight we will be able to put out some ‘no parking’ signs. I have been to see the people who live in the houses on the corners of our road (actually it’s a close) and opposite the entrance to ask if when they have gone to work it will be ok to put some ‘no parking’ signs down, they were all ok about it.
The fun starts at about 7.30am when the crane arrives and the lorry at about 9am.
We could probably do with an early night really, but I can’t see us getting much sleep. The next time I put an entry on we should have the boat in the garden. Keep your fingers crossed.
