makes you feel warm all over

I want to know if anyone else has experienced this.

Every once in a while, by about 10:30am the smell of freshly made bread is overpowering. Half an hour later Robert the electrician, who brings his bread machine over on days when there are lots of things going on and he's here all day, slices up a loaf of fresh bread for everyone to enjoy with butter and strawberry jam in their break. He brings us a couple of slices too, which we eat at our desks while the bread is still warm and yeasty.

One sunny day, foreman Jonathan brought his litle Webber barbeque, as well as hamburgers and hot dogs, buns and condiments. We were asked if it was ok the day before so we made potato salad and nanaimo bars to add to the melon also on offer. At about 12:30 the group of electricians and framers and plumbers and general workers and we all sat down to eat lunch and talk hockey.

A couple of times when things are quiet downstairs with work sans sawing or hammering, Eric starts singing a cappella. Out of the blue we hear Amazing Grace wafting up through the floorboards, a few other tunes we don't know and even a gentle O Canada.

Amid the chaos, human connections are made.
