The gardener

I seem to be getting very blip-lazy these days, I must try harder! Anyway, my brother persuaded his gardener to come round and trim a few of the shrubs in my parents garden.
I took the gardener a cup of tea, he takes two sugars, which he probably needed to get over the shock. He’d been expecting an hour’s work, and there is probably a month’s work needed!
I suggested trimming back the huge shrubs to the retaining sleepers, in the hope the grass would grow there again, and he made a valiant effort, took away all the cuttings, and promised to come back, but not in the next three weeks.
I wonder if he will…..
