That’s pretty incredible. Just the planning and the timing alone.
Yup 
This sounds too good to be true, but I promise you it happened. We went to Standen, a National Trust property, yesterday. The entrance to the house is in a courtyard. The following link has photos - in a couple you can just about make out an archway on the far left corner of the photo - that’s how you access the courtyard.
Yesterday the archway was all but blocked by a - I would say “lorry”, perhaps “semi” in US English - which we had to squeeze past to get in. What had happened, we were told, was that it had just dropped off a delivery of “biomass” (wood chip for heating). Loaded, it could just barely make it through the archway. Unladen, it was a smidge higher and now unable to get back out. When we walked in, they were letting air out of the tires (!) to lose some height; on our way out, it had got out of the courtyard, and a commercial breakdown van was pumping air back into them. I shit you not - you can’t make this stuff up. An awful lot of people had a laugh at that.

Actually, I remember that as a lateral thinking exercise from decades ago. A truck is stuck under a bridge until a 5-year old kid suggested deflating the tires.
I always wondered where that song came from. Did not expect it to be coming from two grown adults! I hope they make out later.
I walked with my usual group of trash-picking employees when we passed in front of a senior community property. These two couples in their entry courtyard had seen us walking there before so called out to us. The one woman said our persistence reminded her of The Coasters’ “Yackety-Yack.” She had some kind of saxophone so played the accompaniment followed by her partner singing the lyrics. They were beautiful together there.
Love it - thanks for this.
She’s back! She looks great though a bit worn and she still has limited energy. But she’s sitting up!

My oldest is 10 years old. His preschool teacher who we loved retired to an admin role after his class graduated to kindergarten.
The replacement teacher just left after 5 years in the position, and the original teacher is back. My youngest happens to be in preschool! He said on her first day back “I get to be like my big brother and have Ms. Smith as my teacher!”
Awesome. That’ll be on my list of videos to watch later tonight/after work.
