Lo! The Gasman Commeth

[lil_shepherd]

This afternoon, a VERY BIG LORRY arrived. It grabbed up the spoil and deposited rather more fine material to go in the holes. This was tamped, and the lorry and the men went away with assurances that there would be people to replace bricks, pavings and asphalt in various drives

Oh, FFS. This is ridiculous.

I hope they manage to sort it soon.

The dog keeps barking as the chap comes in to check the levels.

it was on a Monday morning that the gas man came to call...

You poor thing. And you have how many animals to evacuate every time you have to leave?

[lil_shepherd]

Nine.

Today we did not evacuate them. We were told the buildings would not blow up - it was all Health and Safety so I put down some more food for them and went outside. Even Draco was in his crate for a while...

I do hope they get things sorted out soon! In the meantime, a good Voyage episode sounds like an excellent distraction.

(I'm embarrassed to admit that I can't remember exactly which episode that was. Was that the one with the glory-hound "scientist" whose assistant did all the work and dropped dead in mid-dive?) Obviously I need to rewatch my S1 DVDs.

There! You see, you did remember.

It's also the first appearance of the giant humanoid hairy thingy with the huge eyes and a propensity for grabbing diving bells and submarines.

(Also one of the very few (two or three is it?) outside the first couple of episodes that Nelson calls Crane "Captain" when speaking directly to him - a sure sign of anger.)
