Grumpy

Today was one of the most hated days in my calendar - the annual August trim (delayed a couple of weeks due to the rubbish weather we've been having) of the horrible trees that border the back of our garden.
They actually belong to the person in the house behind ours, but he never does anything with them, so if I don't trim the parts that grow over our border then they get out of control.
I cannot describe in words how much I hate doing this; I think it's partly the resentment at having to cut someone else's trees.
Oh well, all over for another year.
