A good day's worth of work
I pruned my overgrown backyard with a saw, a huge rusty one at that. My 'yard' consisted of an overgrown sapling and a 5 feet tall plant thing. Took three of us to cut them down and mutilated them into manageable chunks to be disposed of easier in garbage bags. *Shudder* It was a gruesome scene. If they were mandrakes we'd be dead by now. =P The last time I was in my yard was 6 months back. We never open the back door as it is not safe to leave it unsecured. Bad men managed to camped there once and it was enough to convince us not go back there again. Anyway, number one reason was to cut the darn saplings down and number two - to scatter bags of pepper at strategic places. Hmm... mutilation and pepper bags; sounds like a voodoo thing. * haha* The pepper bags are to discourage cats from 'nesting', which they did and the yard stank with cat urine. *gag*
So after five hours of pruning and sprucing and cleaning the WHOLE house, we were done! Hallelujah! I was beginning to think it would never end. The bending down, the scrubbing, the sawing, the bending of nubile branches to fit into bags, the mopping, the rearranging... whew it was done. THEN we realised there was not enough water for us to bathe!!! The tank was very low! Bah. But it was no biggie. We went to Philip Wain instead for a hot, satisfying shower. Ahhh... it was so goooood. Throw in a steam bath into the equation and you get heaven. *Blissful sigh...*
Nite all... I'm too tired to keep awake. *yawn*
