Woke up to a terrible noise this morning and found out that the city is digging something on our street.
Tons and tons of dust right now. You can be sure that I will not open the windows today. I do not want all this stuff to come in.
Even our neighbors went for a walk wearing masks to protect themselves.
I wish the city had warned us in advance.
I do not like days like this at all but it can't be stop.

Oh dear that is not pleasant at all for you Marlina.
So sorry they are having to do this right now.
And did they even let anyone know the were going to do it, probably not.

@Marty1 The first of August is Swiss National Day and all the public workers get their 15 days vacations. This is one of the reason why there are no road workers the first two weeks of August. Another reason is that we have million of tourists coming here in the south in August and our roads are narrow and it would be a real pain to cope with tourists, road works, dust and heat.

Actually that is becoming the norm everywhere you go these days around here. Makes you wish for better days of breathing

That is dreadful. I am surprised they did not warn you. It is the kind of day that I would stay away.

Hope all that digging doesn't go on for days. The noise and dust is nasty when they are doing work like that.

I am sure if you call them they would tell you they sent a notice out and act surprised that you didn't receive it. They did the same thing to us and hen we asked what was going on it was "didn't you get the notice?" What notice?

I hope they finish quickly whatever they are doing. The city has been working all summer on my daughter's street. I need to take a different route getting to her driveway. When I was there yesterday, it looks like they will be pouring the concrete soon.
