Efficiency in the Garden
A tip for the budding gardener: When using electric hedge-trimmers to tidy up the trees and bushes in your garden, they will be more efficient if you do not cut through the power-cord.
And a tip for the budding gardener’s spouse: If your wife cuts through the power-cord of the electric hedge-trimmers, it is not advisable to look at her and make hmph-ing noises that suggest you would not have done the same thing because you are not stupid.
Anyway, aside from that, today we have -
- taken Freddy to his last swimming-class; I’m waiting for the instructor who was teaching Barney to get back to me about lessons for George and Freddy.
- taken George, Freddy and Jack to a birthday-party for R (who lives across the road, for now) - a party which took place in a play-centre about 15 minutes away, and which began approximately 25 minutes after I heard about it. Not only did we make it on time, but I even managed to brush my hair, throw on a clean shirt, and pick the bits of bushes out of the rest of my clothing.
- continued trying to teach Cass and Andie that the great outdoors is where you do that.
- introduced Cass and Andie to R and his family, all of whom went “awwwww….”
Scratchy is talking to Barney on the phone as I write; I’ve already had a chat with him and he sounds brighter this week. We seem to phone him in a different place every week - a case of “if it’s week five it must be Frankfurt…”

Ha! Every year my Dad has cut the cable cutting the hedge - it gets done twice a year though the cable only gets cut once a year ;0) Last year we had to cut it for the first time… and Roarke cut the cable! It’s missed a cut now, so we have double thickness to do sometime over the next month… fancy coming and doing ours?!
