Next door was made redundant on Monday
and we got chatting by the wheelie bins on Tuesday.
Long story short he gets his lawn cut by the local gardener (today). He's got to give a months notice; but said that as I am not well at the minute (bloody shingles); he'd ask him to work the notice on my same sized garden. No charge to me; but as he said, he has time on his hands etc. and his own garden will help him to fill in his time. I always look after their house/animals when they go on holiday; take in parcels during the day etc..
Last year the gardener had very tanned fit young men doing next door's garden. I supervised them closely from my upstairs window to ensure that they were following health & safety regulations. I jumped at the chance of the lawn cutting.
This year it's just the owner/gardener. He has no hair, no teeth.
On his own, no fit young men at all.
Am I being un reasonable to be dissappointed ?
Our am I looking a bald toothless gift horse in the mouth ?
