A Small Retainer

My Dear Princess and Dear Fellows,

Day 3 of "Operation Punky Prison" continues, and you see here two of the tradies building the retaining wall that will hold the fence in place.

Caro seems to be enjoying herself. She made* the tradies soup today, and she also made them all coffees, except the one who doesn't like coffee or tea.

"I've got juice boxes," suggested Caro.

He accepted one gratefully, but then had to put up with the mockery of his mates from then on, having a go at him and his "school drink".

The boys are obviously unnerved by all this activity. They PEER at the tradies from inside, then something noisy happens and they run and hide. But they can't help themselves, they are fascinated. 

It is very exciting to me that this time next week we'll be able to leave our back doors open and wait for Punky to stick his little nose outside for the first time. He's going to be so happy.

S.
