As I was saying yesterday before those cowboys so spectacularly interrupted my train of thought, our friends Jane and Ed and their cutie children Charlie and Mimi came to stay on Saturday night and much fun seemed to be had - particularly by Jamie.
In fact, he may even have technically cheated on his new girlfriend Sally who he only got together with last week.
But then, is having a bath with another lady really cheating? It surely must be.
In The Night Garden, which all three kids are watching above, kept matters civil for a while.
But then Jamie began to eye up his prey.
And, as I say, 20 minutes later, they had taken the plunge (which I decided against photographing for reasons of taste and decency).
The food and wine then made an appearance and both mummies and both daddies seemed to enjoy the evening.
Sadly, this particular daddy probably enjoyed himself just a little too much and wasn't around to wave everyone off the following morning. (In my defence, I only had about four and a bit hours sleep the previous night...but still).
Before I head off for another day's graft, you'll no doubt be wanting an update on our hole.
Two cowboys arrived not that long ago - one shovel between them - and cowboy #1 rang our doorbell for a word. He was enquiring if our telly was broken (it's not as we have Sky as opposed to cable) but then he revealed that Maria - our neighbour on the other side i.e. not Barrington - also had her line cut yesterday. They really did do a top job.
I asked him how they managed to achieve the seemingly unachievable yesterday and he explained - after saying it wasn't him, it was someone else - that they had been set a very difficult task.
"But isn't that why you get paid?" I enquired, "the idea being that you do it right?" Sadly, that comment appeared to fly over his head and into the atmosphere somewhere where it remains.
Anyway, he and his mate have since been joined by another crack tradesman who seems to have particular responsibility for the team fags.
As I said last night, goodness knows what scene will greet me when I get back from work tonight.
