Been busy today helping Sue and Dusty.
Spent the morning piling up things that could go back home and then when we went outside for our walk we put it all in the car. Just kept the two overnight bags and some undies/tops for three days.
We then texted and heard from Brian that he would be working at our house on Sunday so decided to go over today and drop as much stuff back as we could
So after lunch Sue and I drove over to Hull ...
Good news at home. The electrical work is terrific. All sockets have been moved from skirting to wall and plaster gouged out and repaired - but limited damage made. Plus new sockets etc. Also new light fittings and extra sockets in the attic office. Plus the new windows in the dining room fab.
In the dining room all plaster off down to brick already. It looks a bit horrendous and the kitchen is full of dining room furniture but to be expected. See pics of present appearance!

The house is naturally very dusty and that was a bit upsetting - but they had shut doors when doing the dining room. and the front room has escaped a lot
It was amazing how much the garden had grown - lush long grass - pots flourishing well - birds came down at once -so we fed them.
After inspecting the garden [and the dining room in horror!] I showed Sue I wanted a regular home walk - so we had that and then I got back in the car. Only panic was the loss of the car/house keys after that. Sue searched the house -twice - and had covered them up with some stuff so all OK. Phew!
Anyway we drove back to Paws and told Dusty the good news and he was well relieved of course.
We had our tea and felt very happy all going so well with the home repairs - and after some thunder and rain it cleared up and Sue and I had a lovely long, leisurely evening stroll

We can now all look forward to the remaining few days holiday in peace ...
