The Gasman and the Boy

I got home from work today to find, once again, that men where ripping great holes in the ground right outside our house. I had thought last night at about 1am when i went back upstairs half asleep that i could smell gas in the hall. Apparently the pipes outside were full of leaks! So they spent the afternoon traipsing in and out to our gas meter and digging holes to replace pipes and what not.

The boy was just some random kid who decided to join in, by the end he seemed to just think he was one of them and lent there, in our drive chatting to the new guys that had come along. They even got him reading out things for them! He seemed to be loving it though.

It could have been a better picture if i wasn't sneakily taking it out of the window while trying not to be seen...

This evening i made shortbread. It's very easy and very yummy i recommend it!
