Today, the council have 'improved' the area outside our home by planting some scratty bushes which they dug up from somewhere else in the area (I kid you not - the men planting them told us) on some waste ground. This will apparently 'bring the area up' and 'make the entrance to Amersham more pleasant'. Last time I checked, we were rather more towards the middle than at the entrance. If the bushes survive both the planting process and the Friday night rampage through the park for the local youth I'll be surprised, but we'll see.
Today's other surprises included:
* the cupboard in the kitchen falling off the wall (luckily it was empty). The contents is still all over the table, which will make breakfast tomorrow a challenge.
* the ceiling falling in on the downstairs cloakroom. Given that the roof has gone and water has been cascading down it for the last couple of days this wasn't a surprise, but it still wasn't very welcome!
Ah well, onwards and upwards. This all seemed like a good idea at the planning stage.
