Except... there was still some noise, a kind of banging. Not outside our house directly, though. People often seem to make that kind of noise in the afternoon so I thought little of it.
Then I noticed that our mains water was off. Odd. It happens occasionally, but usually in a mid-week morning, not a Friday afternoon.
Then I took a rubbish sack out, since Saturday's one of the days when the dustmen come. Just at the end of our street, I saw another digger... and, apparently, part of the road being dug up all over again!
When Tim got back from a youth band practice, he said it looked as if a water pipe had been broken in the resurfacing process. There were men frantically trying to bail water out of a hole...
(slight camera shake but I didn't want to make it too obvious I was taking the picture so I only took one)
Only in Cyprus...

I find it odd that the use American style stop signs in Cyprus. I guess now it's a certain thing that they'll come through and fix up the sewers.
That seems to be the process in a lot of areas - fix one thing and break something else. ec
When we get a lot of rain here, water sometimes flows down the gutters for days after the rain had stopped. Usually it comes from across the road, where i think there;s a spring in the railway reserve, but this time it was coming up from the street. So they dug it up, and it stopped, but they haven't filled in the hole for 3 weeks.
Hey, you should chat about this in Worldchat... I'll see if I can send a link!
