"Pope builds bridges with Muslims" made me say something very silly when my wife read it out to me earlier. I shall refrain from repeating it in public...

Anyway, today we knocked down part of what was left of our front garden wall (the one separating our property from the street). Half of it fell down last year and we'd just left it there (annoying the neighbours, but heh...).

Then we rebuilt it. Well, we dry-run rebuilt it, anyway -- just to make sure we had enough remains to do it with. This involved reducing its height by a third and improving its looks by 100%. It still looks ugly, but there's less of it now! Tomorrow we will get some sand and cement to mortar it all together (and hope it doesn't rain).

Surprisingly, the above only took four hours before lunch. The rest of the day has been a touch idle, really.

That is to say, our shower has broken down. Bit of a crap end to an otherwise good day. Sigh.
