Spent the efternoon pruning ridiculously unruly roses with vicious black thorns puncturing my forearms. The client’s garden changed from a dark canopied urban hideaway into a bright, open social spot. It will be covered again by next year and the whole process will be repeated.
Begrudgingly posted a cheque to my incompetent and aggressive builder for the shoddy granite terrace his sub contractors laid for me. Decided I couldn’t take the stress of a small claims court case dragging on for a year – my health and well being are more important to me than a few hundred pounds. A shame he’s got away with a sub standard job which I am sure will only encourage him to take the same short cuts with someone else. I hope someone big and strong stands up to him soon.
