The building work continues. Perhaps I should invent a drill silencer. You know how James Bond always has a silencer which he screws, with some finesse and consumate ease onto the end of his PP7. Well, surely the same principle could apply to a big noisy drill. There doubtless would be a market for such a stealth power tool. I will look into it. Nonetheless, the builders are loud, the drill being the principle culprit. Thus I have had to leave the lounge, move upstairs, not into my room, because that is polluted by the drill, but into my sisters room. And that is what they do, they force you out.
I have a ridiculous spot on the side of my nose. It is no longer a spot though, it is now a feature of my face, like a nose or an eye. It stands proud, though rather than being red in colour it has adapted a distictly purpley black tinge, as if to make it unique and cool. Well at least if your going to have a spot, better it be cool than a loser spot. As I write, the builders across the road are recieveing a pep talk from their boss. Arm waving, nodding, the odd laugh, hands on hips and then smiles all round. And I realised they are smiling because they have been dismissed for the day, it is only 16:47, very lazy if you ask me. They collect their things and power walk to their car. I say power walk because they are clearly very keen to get out of here and go home. But do not want to appear as if they are so keen to get away that they are running. Thus suffice to say they are moving as fast as is humanly possible without actually running. The kind of walking that you use when your trying to get to the front of the school dinner queue. 'No running' warns the teacher. But you ve developed a walk thats nearly as fast as a run, fast enough to get you to the front of the queue, but with such an acquired tecnique that you don't get hauled up by the teacher for running. Anyway. Thats what these builders were doing. But they've gone now. They will certainly be back tomorrow, maybe I'll have the chance to propose my drill silencer idea.
