An Englishman's home....

Just when I thought our lives couldn’t get more complex, today builders dug a moat around part of our house. This is Part One of a mud opera to correct drainage on our property and super duper earthquake proof the house, which about 40 years old.
The cats were locked in, and only allowed out after the diggers had left. Otto protested loudly at the circumstances and muttered as hubby carried him around to show him. Her ladyship just sat in the laundry basket all day, with a bird’s eye view of the proceedings through the French windows. Otto requires ear muffs, Cookie has a list of questions for the builders and wants a schedule so that she can plan her ablutions/snoozing around the “interesting” parts of the digging project. After all, far be it from her to miss a whisker of adventure – even from the lofty heights of the ironing board.
