My wife has succeeded in motivating me today (in conjunction with our new next door neighbour)! She got out of bed this morning, full of the joys of Spring, announcing that she wanted to “get stuff done”. Our new next door neighbour then called round to say that he would clean out our gutters (we have grass growing out of our gutters) if I would hold the ladder for him – offers like that are few and far between so, of course, I agreed.
While my wife gets cracking with organising our front path and garden, I have a go at removing the limescale stain which adorns the front wall of our cottage – I tried to remove it last year using a pressure washer, but only succeeded in fading it slightly; this time I try using some brick acid, and this removes it completely, so I’m well pleased. I put up a new house name and number sign that my wife purchased recently, then I help our next door neighbour cut his fence posts down to size (he’s erecting a new fence between our back gardens), by which time I’m absolutely knackered.
My wife and I drive to Lidl in North Walsham to purchase some bags of bark chippings for the front garden, and then the day is done.
