The plumber was here until 8pm today, although I don't know how long he worked as I don't know what time he arrived. As he said goodbye on the way out, I asked him how things were going.
"There's still a bit to do", "the grouting", "unfortunately that just takes time", "getting there" ...
I smiled and said thank you.
So now we're firmly into week four of a one week job. Gosh. Even IE's download progress bar is more accurate than this.
