essayelWe had our pirate day at the museum today - OMG so many little kids. And because it can never rain without pouring, first thing I also had 2 replacement cleaners [our usual is on holiday] who needed showing where stuff was kept, and 2 conservators, and a man to mend the roof and - whoohoo - the stone masons are back!
Don't know if you remember my post from last year about the 4 fittest stone masons in the business? But they are starting work tomorrow and will be with us for 2 months. Tom, the tall blond curly one with the dimples, came to deliver a load of lime and pick up some keys. I won't promise pictures but if I take some snaps of the grounds and they accidentally get into shot c'est la vie.
And now I am reeling from all the dashing about with the little kids, I have a very large number of big ones in my garden celebrating Jen's 19th birthday. They are in costume - I've been chatting to a gladiator! Charlie Chaplin is here. So is Shaft. There are several pirates, cowboys and one brave lad is dressed as Marilyn Monroe. :D I'm very much amused. Less amused are the neighbours who have come to complain pre-emptively in case they are disturbed later [these are the people with the rock band in their garage. They are used to us being quiet as mice].
I'm leaving them to party until 10.30 then I'll quieten them down.
