Aston and his colleague replaced some broken tiles and installed a kitchen unit and worktop for us. They did a very neat job and left everything clean and tidy. They were friendly and polite. Very happy with the work and would use their services again.

Also posted on Nextdoor app. A lady has taken in the dog and is searching for the owners. If anyone is looking for a dog of this description, let me know and I can put you in touch with the lady who is looking after her.

I enjoy the fair and the music, although admittedly don't live near enough to hear it from home, that could be annoying. I also find it's relatively low in retail of random associated junk compared to many events.

I agree on the helium though, and the plastic it's wrapped in. We've noticed the effects of the helium shortage at my work as it's used to run some air quality monitoring equipment and is becoming difficult to get without delays. Not as important as some of the vital medical applications but still a concern.

Here's a link for anyone who is unaware of the issue and wants to know more. I only found out about it recently myself:

Using helium for balloons seems to be the type of thing that just shouldn't be allowed. I'm sure many people are completely unaware of the issue and others may be unlikely to limit their own use if they're real fans of floaty balloons. But probably most people wouldn't even notice that much if it was not sold any more.

Hussein and his colleagues decorated our ground floor at short notice. They were very hardworking and efficient and even finished sooner than expected. Hussein was keen to make sure we were happy with the work before leaving and took any comments and requests on board. We are very happy with the end result.
