Monday morning

Nice and sunny today. Sunny enough to make our dark apartment a little less dark. As soon as I can I will take a cup of coffee and walk about sixty yards to where there is a blue metal park bench where I can sit and soak up some sun and have a coffee break. Except the sun doesn't really hit the bench until a bit later, so I will take another coffee break when it's more sunny. Or I can walk another ten yards to the red park bench. Or if I am up to it I might go down to sit on the green park bench and see how the stone wall is coming. It seems odd to put so much work into a wall. They do it one block at a time. The blocks come roughly shaped and they have to be chipped into shape. The put in little shivers of blocks to hold the big ones level while the cement is drying. Drainage pipes come through at regular intervals. They stuff something into them temporarily so they won't get plugged with cement.
