A Blue Digger

An emergency dash to help a teacher in need yesterday meant I missed the arrival of The Blue Digger!

This is the view from my kitchen window. Unfortunately, there is no fence so we get to see everything that happens. I bet the people on the opposite street enjoy it too.

Confusingly, no-one has started work yet and it is well after the usual builders' start time. 

Imagine the noise when all three of these machines start to work at once! 

The Council copes bravely with the destruction of its ratepayers' goodwill as all over the Hutt Valley this scene repeats itself and countless gardens are concreted over and bird habitats lost. 

Sadly we cannot apply for a reduction in rates.
