Tarmac laying in Lordship Lane

[Sue]

I was absolutely riveted by the roadworks, coming back from the EDT last night.

Everyone working really fast, and fantastic teamwork.

No idea why the third photo is inserting upside down, it's the right way up on my phone!

Love the smell of Tarmac when its hot and being laid. It seems to be endless maintenance and upgrading of pavements and roads in Dulwich at the moment. Not that it's a bad thing.

I see @Sue, a few drinks and dirty men in uniforms working fast and furiously to fill holes with their hot steamy stuff sounds a bit too much like your personal fantasy 🫣

Are you sure you were, to put it delicately, 100% upright at the time you took the photo?

No cartwheels, handstands or anything like that?

Are the emergency water works where the lovely fresh tarmac is ? 

If so I hope Thames will redo the tarmac and not just patch the hole after
