DIGGING UP THE FOOTPATH

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

My footpath is a terrible mess at the moment.

 Sydney Water are digging up all the pipes down the street.

We have an alternate water supply in the white pipes.

There is plenty of machinery around. This is a view of my house from across the road.

Every now and then my pipes seem to spontaneously make a whining sound. I woke up to it this morning. I hope it stops once they finish all the work.

Yesterday was my mother's 80th birthday. Some of us took her to the Illawarra Yacht Club for tea.

We had a lovely evening. Her main party will be on Saturday, when most of the family will celebrate.
