Report written by StephDucat
The title already exists somewhere on our reports, but when you see and read this report you will understand that it could only be that as a title. I originally was registered to this mission 2 weeks ago and it was cancelled last minute when I was near Ms D flat as we found out she didn't have tools. This time we were assured she had bought tools. I arrived at Ms D and she lead me to the back garden, which was or looked like snakes all over her back garden and invading the slabs and the side of the shed. I asked for the tools and she gave me massive black bags. Then I asked for tools to cut the massive brambles : she said I only have a spade. Oooopppsss!No tools to weed or cut brambles, but not convinced to be defeated, I took my special bramble gloves(super thick and made for this type of task). Pulled weed, dead branches, dead bamboo, brambles and then used the spade to chop the brambles against the concrete near the back wall. Then as I had my bramble gloves was able to fold/bend so that it could fit in the rubbish bins. The spade was Ace or was i the Ace of Spade today.90 minutes in and the garden looked totally different. So you can sort out a garden without tools or the wrong tools. Ms D was over the moon! This was mission 100 since I have started doing missions just 2 years ago. When i mean missions : it is missions at elderly or isolated persons and not good deeds. Now its time to get more missions in before the end of the year and complete more in 2026.
