  • Hard News: The Orcon Great Blend…,

    In other hangover news. My neighbours have started their extension construction today. I was woken at 7 by the delivery of a CAT 305c digger which is, as I write, tearing up the driveway not 5 mtrs from my throbbing head. Every time it dumps huge chunks of concrete into the precariously parked 10 ton truck my house shakes, causing my brain to knock gently against the inside of my skull, bliss.
