We're having the garden landscaped. It is very hot. The builders are shirtless and sweaty. Jasper is helping them. Mainly by running off with all their tools, bricks and lumps of turf. He does bring them back if they give him bits of sandwich. The DC are tearing around the garden with water pistols and writing on each other in chalk. There is Bruce Springsteen blaring out of the builders' radio. I have pimms.
