Unfortunately my trusty blackfellow has been in solitary confiment at the back of my garage this week - a team of Polski chapskis has been repainting the exterior rendering and woodwork of BEagle Towers and I let them use the front part of the garage to store their paint, equipment etc.
But they finished earlier this evening, so the beautiful black orb will be working for its living again tomorrow!
Re. the Polish painters, what a great crew! Fully accredited local firm who've put in 10-11 hours per day to do a brilliant job. Boss Kris wouldn't declare himself happy until 'his boys' had met his personal standards and attention to detail. So if anyone in British West Oxfordshire needs any painting, decorating, refurbishment, garden maintenance or landscaping done, drop me a PM. Incidentally, my neighbour and I had also asked a local British chap for a quote, but he didn't bother to reply to the e-mail querying whether his quote included VAT. Which pretty much says it all really.....
