I have arrived few minutes past 11 as was misled by the navigation ๐Ÿงญ๐Ÿค”. Ended up working a bit longer so fully covered my 1.5h slot.

Ms H and her sister already started some work in the garden ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพ when I arrived. They were preparing a lawnmower for me - incl. cable extension and sharpening the blades to make the work a bit smoother. While they did that I have started deweeding but then moved to the lawnmower as soon as it soon as it was ready.

Mowing the lawn was pretty straightforward but the area was quite bit so it took me around 50 mins to complete the task. I am still quite surprised with how quickly the container was filling up with the grass ๐ŸŒฑ and leaves ๐Ÿƒ and needed to be emptied.

After that was done, I came back to deweeding tasks, prioritising the central square area of the garden. Made it all nice and clean ๐Ÿ‘Œ before starting on the weeds near the fence.

Unfortunately I run out of time โณ๏ธto fully finish deweeding so there is still quite big area that requires help (maybe another mission). I used old carpet pieces to cover the cleaned area (as I was requested to do) so the weeds won't be able to regrow.

The sisters were really grateful for help and also very caring - they kept offering me breaks, water ect. The rain ๐ŸŒง started to be quite heavy so I left the property quite wet once I finished.
