Fire the Cannons and bang the Drum

Once upon a Fail
So yesterday we went back to the hardware store because the splendid and stylish shower unit that Jof wanted was the wrong type for our installation. Jof looked at them all and selected one from the display models that had its own mini-pump to help the water on its way. The man gave us an electric one from stores, and we didn't notice. Today the builder said that both of these sorts were wrong. So if you fail when fixing a fail, but actually fail and get a different wrong one than the wrong one you failingly wanted, is that a 4th level fail? Insert code incorrectly now to fail to level up!
At last! Yet another holiday! A great day at school but Max W and Zachery split up (friendzone only) over a tiff about cheating in a race. Olive branches were brandished and peaceful overtures (Vaughan Williams) were made but to no avail. I reckon that a week off should do it and all will be forgotten, rather than forgiven.

The builders have gotten completely plastered in my room. Apart from the strange damp patches it looks quite good. We are on a promise to apply undercoat-only paint to a bit of Bed 3 and the upstairs corridor over the weekend so we may possibly be about to indicate in preparation for grasping the steering wheel before turning the corner of getting to the next stage in decoration (but I'm not promising anything). 3 weeks in, we're still living out of extension cables, boxes and cardboard floors, but, you know, I don't mind because I see the bigger picture.

So here's the question. What picture will most effectively illustrate todays' situation? The plastering is all very well but it doesn't look so different before and after. However, my toys do ... if they were exposed to the rampant plaster dust attack. Jof has a thing about cleaning everything, and under her direction, all the bed linen was changed so at least we will sleep sans grit this weekend. But she also cleaned my toy vehicle collection .....
