There seems to have been a slight breakdown in communications with Olga. She thought she was going to see the sights and I thought she was going to help on the building site. Still, she seems to have resigned herself to the situation and has abandoned her ‘amorous’ fantasies ……….



I’ve been trying to assess her skills so started her off as a rubble carrier, which I must say she excelled in ……. I suppose she’s used to carrying heavy weights, although hopefully not so dusty.



I quickly promoted her to tool holder – a position she was obviously born to – at which point I decided to give her the rest of the day off.

Tomorrow, we’ll see how she copes with the true skills of the artisan.
