I'm longing to linger till dawn

Woke up to a beautiful sunrise (this is taken through the bedroom window).
Now have the house full – handyman fitting an air brick under the kitchen sink (drilling is very loud) – plumber changing the sink and the (only) toilet (the water’s off).
Everyone has been issued with the statutory cup of tea, the kettle is full for refills … and a neighbour is primed to let us use her facilities!
