Just when we thought it was safe to relax.........

Had to work this today and was greeted by this sight when I tried to get out of the drive - overnight the cones had arrived, along with a big roller, 5 trucks, 2 utes, a van, and the best of all 3 "liquid waste" container trucks i.e. sewage disposal trucks.

A "wonderful rich" smell pervaded the neighbourhood from the several manholes from which large hoses ran to the trucks, with lots of orange hi vis jackets doing what they do.

And instead of getting upset because it took a while to move enough so I could get out to go to work, I just thank god that there are people who are prepared to do this awful job for the sake of others and where we would be without them I don't want to think about!

3 cheers for the workers who are restoring some sort of normal to our city. They are unsung heroes.
