I HAD A CLIENT

Who thought I did such a good job last time I was round her property, she does not need me again until the spring. Considering the gardening season is largely closed now, this is not a problem. I do not miss the cold mornings, damp afternoons or combinations of both. I have my own affairs to be getting on with, including a shed roof that needs re-felting, putting caffeine in my veins, waiting for a postal delivery and going to the gym. These are just a few of the things I can be getting on and seeing as I am bound in a certain way in that waiting for other people plays a part I am writing instead. In the time it takes to write this, it may hopefully warm up enough to encourage putting outdoor clothes on, pulling boots on and peeing around atop of ladders. Either way it has to be done and provides a reason to be creative, constructive or whatever. It takes a weight off my mind knowing a job is done and the satisfaction of ticking something else off of my mental list of things to do.

The garden shed in it s current incarnation has served me well for nearly fifteen years now. It has survived a multitude of abuses including being used as an impromptu makiwara, moved around, kicked and covered in white emulsion whilst I was under the influence of LSD. That is not too mention the multi coloured writing done in acrylic just afterwards. Garden Shed painting whilst tripping your nuts off can be quite good fun, going to your local supermarket under the same is pretty brutal. I do not recommend it!

What else? Oh yes for every penny you earn the government takes a slice of the action, This is an act of criminality called theft and the proceeds are used to commit criminal behaviour such as: allowing illegal immigrants into the country, waging war and then throw the rest away on useless projects that achieve nothing. please don’t make the mistake of trusting politicians, they usually come wearing suits, making pledges and looking as sincere as a wolf in a sheep pen. Save your time and energy and don’t listen to, let alone trust the bastards it only encourages them.

To be honest the shed is past its best, roofing felt is horrible stuff and there is a large black spider. ( The kind with a big round abdomen) and interesting markings doing the rounds. I think I disturbed its hidey hole, if its a false widow like I think it is, it can inflict a painful bite and I have no wish to try that again.
