All starting to come together

Pops came over this morning to help husband fix the drip on the down pipe cock next door whinges about.

I don't think he was too happy about having the scaffolding erected in his courtyard but it was necessary to fix the problem he loves to moan about. After making a completely non disguised attempt to bully me yesterday in the garden I'm really not fussed whether he's happy or not. I'm really naffed off with myself for not letting him push me over. I could have done my best football dive and laid screaming on the lawn for five minutes in agony at the assault. But no, I take the cowards way and jumped out of the way.

I have never really experienced such intentional evil. It's relentless how petty and aggressive they are - If it wasn't in my own back garden it would be comical and I'm sure it is to those that get to hear the latest instalment. Seriously, purposefully walking at someone who is stationery and already in situ with the sole intention of either intimidating them into moving or pushing into them really is worthy of the nickname cock. I didn't know where to put myself as I had both dogs on the lead. He just seemed to appear from nowhere. It took all my balls to go knock on the door later out of courtesy to announce the scaffolders were here and we would get his leak fixed. I thanked him for how he treated me this morning. He said it was a pleasure. Funnily enough he was apologising two minutes later after I announced we were doing a favour.

Drip fixed pops then helps husband start moving and bedding in the sleepers ready for the top soil to cover the fir tree roots cock keeps driving over hopefully the sleepers, top soil and lack of driving over the roots combined will protect the trees and help them stay strong and healthy.

I'm so proud husband has worked so hard and its really starting to show. Everything we have done so far has been mainly back ground work that no one really notices but now we are starting to do pretty things. So chuffed. It's all starting to come together.
