I Had these Good Intentions…

After the dismal failure that was last week, I was determined to yank up my socks and do something constructive this week. I even went so far as to order the wooden struts that I need to replace on my bonsai shelves. They’re not coming until next Saturday, which was disappointing. I suppose I could start by dismantling the ones that are slowly rotting away, and I could make a start on preparing the wall for yet another coat of paint.

The trouble with this idea, is that all of this takes place out in our yard, and I need to stay indoors in case Anita needs anything. She hasn’t been at all well lately. It’s a bit touch and go between the two of us, as there seems to be a competition going on to see who can shuffle off first. At least that’s what it feels like, most of the time.

A funny thing happened on Saturday. I received an email from Amazon.com saying that the book I ordered was on its way. One of my books, BTW, one I didn’t order but was thinking about! Are we getting AI doing mindreading now?

There have also been some serious hints dropped about the state of our hedge. Hints I am trying to ignore, for our neighbour is usually kind enough to cut this hedge. For some reason, he hasn’t done it this year. Maybe it’s the awful weather? I don’t fancy shinning up a ladder, but I suppose I will have to, soon…

Thanks for listening! 💖💖💖

    Send this to the neighbor. Dear neighbor. We are two ladies who love our hedge but get dizzy when we try to trim it. We would be so grateful if you could find time to give it some attention. Forever yours, Anita and Jaye Marie. (I hope Anita feels better and you have a better week.)

      Anita is much better now, John so the rest of the week should be good. I will give that letter some thought…

    Please do not go on the ladder. I’m sure if you ask nicely, your neighbour will do it for you. I hope Anita will feel better soon.

    Don’t go near ladders! Dangerous things. I don’t want to read you’re in hospital with a broken limb from falling off it. Our ex-neighbours both fell from ladders, he, several times. They were lucky, but don’t push your luck!

    I hope Anita is feeling better. I think stay away from that ladder, perhaps your neighbor could help out once again?

    Here’s hoping Anita feels better this week. May I just say, be careful getting on a ladder. So many things can go wrong. Hang in there!
