Before and after or maybe before and during

This is my mother's Myrtus Comunis (Myrtle to you and me) which she has agreed to have cloud pruned. 

It's going to be quite a long process but the first part happened today, let's see as it grows whether I have got spacing and balance right.

I was going to be doing this 6 weeks ago but lockdown put paid to that.

Had a lovely take away curry for dinner with RF and J&M and now need to go to and sleep it off.
