It's got to be said that I've let the jungle around the back get a little out of hand.
I've been busy. It's been hot. I can't be arsed. Take your pick. I have enough trouble keeping the front looking reasonable, and no one goes round there anyway, so why bother? I actually like it 'au natural'. Of course, I once had great plans, but like on many other previous occasions, my expertise in the planning department didn't translate to expertise in the execution department.
I also have to consider my health and well-being. There's God knows what hiding amongst that long grass. I'm supporting the local wildlife. I'm saving the planet by not operating electrical and petrol driven machinery. I'm creating a natural and wild habitat for mother nature to thrive, free from man's attempts to takeover and control her.
Being honest, if I had enough money for a huge fuck-off digger and a couple of thousand tons of concrete, I'd build a car park, but i haven't. So nature reserve it is.
What's the point in banana trees when some thieving 🥧🔑 nicks your bananas?
Unfortunately for me, the wife has issued a decree, and so it's begun. And with hedgetrimmer and strimmer in hand, I've made a start, albeit a small one, down the side of the house so it looks from the front I've put in a little effort, she never goes round the back anyway, although with Rambutan season approaching, her mum is going to need access to her fruit trees. She will moan to the wife, the wife will moan at me... You can see where this is going!
Right, back to it. In an attempt to put a positive slant on all this, my 2 hour session did get me 13k + steps in, and steps are currently important now my new, and very expensive medical insurance is in force. Gamifying it for discounts has a tendency to focus and motivate, especially for 59 year old with ever increasing premiums!
Thanks for dropping by, and I hope everyone is having an amazing weekend.
More boring tree photos tomorrow!
