Newflash! Big Seymour has, slowly but surely, been rediscovering his missing mojo.
This is timely, as he now has nearly TWO WEEKS OFF.
Of course, he doesn’t have two weeks off, exactly. He has two weeks of time to dedicate to the Funny Little Bungalow. Rest assured, this will be no holiday.
I’m hopeful, though. If the roof can come off and go back on in eighteen days, then the possibilities now are endless. We may even get… dare I say it… proper walls downstairs again! Minus the mould!
However, Big Seymour has messed up slightly. One of his weeks off just happens to be half term. Why, when he could have picked any week, did one of them have to be when the Four Little Seymours are here to offer their own special variety of help? Maybe he likes sharing his drills with Boy (whose current DIY project is a baby squirrel house), or possibly, he enjoys listening to the periodic catawauls that result from an argument over a scooter just outside the newly repositioned downstairs window.
I plan to update regularly – times like this are rare. Usually, weekends are when the magic happens. But we are all in for some mid-week progress for a change. How exciting!
Of course, Barbados would be more exciting. That would really be “time off”. But for now, there’s a pile of plasterboard just itching to get itself onto our downstairs walls. And Celotex, there’s lots of that, too.
So, if you’re passing, do drop in. Big Seymour loves company. He’ll put you to work, mind. You’ll be hunting for his hammer in amongst all of our rescued furniture, or passing him a spirit level through a hole in the ceiling. He’ll drill stuff mid-sentence, so that further conversation is futile, and he will disappear as soon as your back in turned, to pop up on another floor somewhere, with a nail in his mouth. But that is because he is on a mission. He doesn’t hang about.
Which is good really. As there is still TONS to do.
Wish us luck!
Keep it up, Marky!
