We've had construction for the last eight months out back. Same side of the house as the bedroom. Though it's usually cats that are a bigger risk to my sleep.

I'm all right with cats: it's possible to shoo them out of the room, even when they latch all available claws onto the bathrobe you are sleeping under and dislodge only under great protest and some reworking of the laws of physics. (Not like this has happened to me recently.) It is more difficult to relocate contractors in the same way.

Of course it wasn't Richard Griffiths on stage when I saw it but I always think of him when I think of seeing it.

That's a wonderful tribute to an actor.

I don't know if it would interest you but we enjoyed him in five seasons of "Pie in the Sky."

And I'd never even heard of the show before I saw it mentioned in his obituaries. I'll give it a try. Thank you!
