More roadworks

The continuing saga of roadworks continues. Today they're going to be doing something outside my house, probably ripping up the daffodils planted on the roadside easement (which we call a berm in NZ). I don't know whether to leave to escape the noise and return to the surprise of mess and chaos later in the day or stay home and look at it through twitching net curtains while they murder the plants. Bum. Hope to Goddess they don't cut through my sewer, water or phone lines. Again, bum.
