Why I cannot take Pereg out

The Silver Monster is too wide for the temporary "path" across where the pavement was...


...and this is one of the causes of it!

Aaaaagh, can you do your Fishwife From Hell act

Oh dear!!
Seems like the diggers and whatnot have been there for ages now!

What do you think got me the temporary "pathway" so I can get over to the macolet on Xanadu? I do have to move the bricks first though, then put them back again so it does not go walkabout...!

I have been "reliably" informed that the pavements will be finished "in about a month" - and then they will start on the road...

...not to worry, I have been "reliably" assured yet again that they will not only repair the corners of my ramp, broken off as you can see in the first photo, but they will make a concrete path from the ramp to the road and I will definitely [not holding my breath waiting] be getting a dropped kerb.

What an absolute balagan, to say nothing of the sand and dust everywhere...

Wow what a mess - its quite obvious why you had trouble that day getting out.

You can see by the chunk of concrete to the right of the end of the ramp [it was the corner they broke off that side] how deep my ramp/path is - and they had bulldozed everything leaving me that depth of nothingness at the end of the ramp. Following my fishwife act they dumped a load of stones and ran the heavy roller over them a few times. What I did not know at the time was that the stones were mixed with cement and they had well watered it - and Xanadu got well and truly stuck at the end, as I could see a load of water trickling down so I drove off it to the side - which is where he was stuck.

Anyhow, it dried nice and hard but I still need that piece of dunno what to get onto the road otherwise the treads of Xanadu's tyres will be full of stones and sand and stuff - which will then make even more of a mess on my carpet than the current sand does.

But no way am I going to risk trying to get The Silver Monster out - not that I would at the moment in any case as it is far too hot to take Pereg out, but I could not even if I wanted to do so. Not that I have told them that, of course - I am still complaining to them about not being able to take the poor deprived dog out for a walk!

Oops! Hope it all gets cleared sooner rather than later!

At the rate things get done here, it will be much later rather than sooner! In the all the years that I have lived on this Moshav, only for the first two were road/sewers/this that and t'other not dug up. The following three years [when I lived at a different bungalow on the Moshav] we had a period of three months when the water was off from 7am-3pm Sunday-Thursday while "temporary" work was done on the sewers.

I have lived in this bungalow now coming up for 13 years now, during which time the roads were dug up for cable TV and internet [I had satellite television installed a week after I moved in and had my broadband through the satellite company years before the cables were laid]. The road has been resurfaced twice -the first time breaking down after just two years. The water has been off from 7am-3pm for months at a time [on and off] while new mains were laid. And now they have ripped up all the pavements and eventually new ones will be laid. Eventually!

And then - and then - and then...

...they are going to start on the roads again!

Already learnt two new words, what's a Moshav?

It's like a long distance learning course!
