This was my second visit to Mr P’s my last one was only last weekend where we had sorted a lot in the back garden. Mostly concentrating on Mr P’s tasks but Mrs P had a few things she wanted sorting so, this week was about doing that. I came armed with my wire brush which I’d managed to travel on public transport across Liverpool with much to Mr P’s amusement. It was totally useless, I think I might have to retire it, so, Mr P suggested I use one of his tools for the job. It worked like a dream but it was a lot of hard graft. I was weeding between the cracks in the flags at the front. Making sure all the paving looked smart and tidy. The soil was mainly sand because of proximity to the sea front and the wind was up so I tried to brush the weeds and soil into the road with the wind circling everything beneath my feet. Mr P helped me by tackling the flower bed to the side of the car but it was a lot for him to do so I tried to insist that he leave the work to me. Together we made a big difference and the path looked spick and span. I treated myself to chips and ice cream on the beach. I had to do it. Being by the seaside calls for it. But, it was very windy so I ate a lot of sand. Shout out to the other goodgymmers who did unofficial good deeds today- Steph who found someone’s make up bag, Sallyann who went shopping and did some yardening for friends and Nasser who offered to fix Sallyann’s bench.
