Trees


 The trees in the back garden had begun a bit overgrown and were blocking a lot of our sun and view.  At 5.30pm last night mum got a text from the landlord to say that he had organized a gardener to come and chop back the trees - today between 10am- 3pm.  Right on the first morning  after mum had her first night shift.  Grrr!!

Mum could have contacted the landlord - but she couldn't figure out a way to not sound angry in her reply.  She did think of booking into a hotel,  but they don't usually have rooms available until later in the day.  She also wanted to make sure I was ok, so she came home to stay with me.  She was in bed by 7.30am and got a couple of hours sleep before the chainsaws started at 10.30am.  They did finish at 2pm, so she got a couple of hours more napping then.  I guess she will be sleeping well tomorrow. 

We'll get an after photo when the weather clears.

  2. Oh no! It is a pity the landlord couldn't have contacted your mum first to find out when would be convenient.

  3. I guess you just never know how things are going to work out. Now the trees will be cut back for future viewing, but it certainly did make for a difficult day while they were cutting. Hopefully after your mum does another shift at work, she'll come home and get a very good sleep. I think you both needed to go to the hotel Poppy.

  6. They must do it some time, but it was very inconvenient - and tiring - for your mum. I hope her sleep is plentiful and deep tomorrow.

  8. Poor Mum. What lousy timing for those tree men to take care of those trees, Poppy.
