Piles

They've been driving piles for weeks now behind our building, and still a long way to go. But it'll look very different when next we see it, and - to be honest - it's a relief that something is finally being built, after years in which this has just been a fenced off wasteland since they demolished the industrial units that were there. Eventually there will be a pleasant walkway along the river, joining together two bits that are now not properly joined together.

We were wandering down to Ostara to have brunch-y things with Meles and DaveH and deliver them my oxalis, which will receive tender loving care in their hands. The world being such a village, we discovered that they were meeting someone in the afternoon whom I used to know a bit. The rest of the day has been devoted to clearing and cleaning and final preparations. Finally!
