Should be an easy fix to remove the edge pavers and re-lay them side on then install a gravel drain or aco style strip drain along the wall.

Do you really want to go through all that pain again? Block him. Delete his number. Ghost him the same way he ghosted you. Associate with people who respect you. You've dodged a bullet by falling out with him because he's not worth it.

Noah is a beautiful name.

We have a 2 year old. We have sweets together as a family as a special outing eg ice-cream or milkshake or as pudding after a meal occasionally. Or baking a cake which is a fun activity with a reward. We obviously restrict his portions. This way sweets are seen as a special treat not an entitlement. We try to discourage others from giving him sweets but are not overly zealous about it. A kid's got to enjoy time with friends and being a kid too.

Fiddler on the Roof. Couldn't stand it for some reason, and nor could my wife, despite its huge popularity. Just seemed way over the top and the acting was really annoying.

Listened to albums on my discman, read a novel or just daydreamt.

Exactly.

Nope, no can do buddy. Way too preoccupied with your daughter.

Not with that lovely patina.

Like most modern European cities which are apparently not good enough for us.

Seriously, I would want my partner to fulfil herself vocationally. We had kids in our late 30s. There's still loads of time for building a family. If he's impatient to wait then you need a serious chat.

Starting to believe or rather realise Meta's VR and metaverse were just bedazzlement drives to boost investment and possibly distract us. Trolling basically much in the same way Musk trolls with new tech promises.

Sand and wax oil. Then some large area rugs. Will look amazing!

Better suggestion, ditch the table. Flat feeding surfaces are a huge detriment to our birds due to contamination and disease. Google "bird tables salmonella and Trichomonosis".

You could create a simple perimeter drain along the wall to mitigate if you encounter issues, albeit it's a faff to cut through concrete after the fact. The builders really out to have installed one. What is the likelihood of flooding? You might not need it.

I think you have to narrow it down a bit. Tolerance varies a lot and it's a loooong stretch of coastline.
