In other news, our village is currently suffering from roadworks. Here's the map.
It's basically a triangle. The red dots indicate where the roadworks are.
The one on Chapel Road is across the entire road and there are "road closed" signs to warn people they won't be able to get past. This is only true when there's no-one working there, because you can sneak past if there isn't a van in the way. For most of yesterday, it was indeed clear, although most people didn't know that because they obeyed the road signs and turned round before they found out. The roadworks are to fix a problem with a leaking water main.
The roadworks on Lexden Road are three-way, so we all have to wait in case someone wants to come out of the cul-de-sac. These are caused by the sinkhole I mentioned last week, which has yet to attract any repair crews.
The final set of roadworks are caused by BT Openreach, who are hooking up a new estate to the Internet. I guess the middle of the road is the only possible place they could have placed an access shaft. No cherry-pickers were in evidence, so this isn't the source of our Internet-connection woes.
We have to go to the supermarket today. I fully expect that in the hour we're out, the installer will return to finish the job.
