Cherry picking

Another busy day on the house.  First arrival was A, with a minidigger, to put some soil back onto the "graves"*.  He even scattered grass seed at the end.  See extra.

Shortly after, Skippy arrived with his cherry picker, and has done a valiant job of cleaning up the house and environs - you can see what a difference he was making to the chimney.  Despite saying around lunchtime that he wouldn't stay late as his partner wasn't well, he actually didn’t leave till about 6.30.  He still has a bit to do tomorrow.  He's a good talker - W said "if we were donkeys, we'd be walking on our front legs".

We've also worked hard.  I lopped the hedge alongside the garage, to enable access for Skippy today, and then the painters next week.  And then we spent a couple of hours cutting and raking a bit more of the "3rd lawn" - the area of grass that Husky cannot tend.
