Erection

I was woken this morning by a large erection. Or more precisely by the monkeys constructing said erection next door. Said erection was pointed out to Ma Ma, who was less than happy.

Yesterday we spent quite a bit of time shovelling ice from the street so the bin could be placed exactly on the pavement edge. Said bin hasn't been emptied for three weeks due to the snow, so it is essential it gets emptied today. We know that if they have to walk on frozen stuff to get the bin, elf n safety will decide it's dangerous, and it won't be emptied.

So Ma Ma is quite peeved that the monkeys have a) moved the bin back onto the snow and b) are using the cleared bit to unload their truck. Some people would get passive aggressive here. Ma Ma prefers the direct approach. "Oi, monkeys! Put my bloody bin back where you got it from or I'll empty it in your bloody truck!"

For a 5 foot woman she is very intimidating. Said bin is replaced. Sadly I am kept awake as they create their erection all morning.

The house next door now has scaffolding all over the front with a bit looking like a diving board platform extending to the chimney. Quite what the intent is I'm not sure, but Ma Ma is getting a good head of steam built, as after all the chimney is 50% ours. Observe this space for developments.
