I have visited Ms H right after finishing my earlier lawn mowing mission. I arrived perfectly on time ⌚️. I rung doorbell a couple of times and got no response so I eventually called Ms H on her mobile 🤳. Only then she opened the door and welcomed me (she said she didn't hear the bell).
She led me to the backgarden and - being very frank here - it looked incredibly well maintained already. It was mostly some tiny 🔎 weeds sticking out between the tiles but it wasn't that much. There were also patches laid out with stones/gravel where the weeds found their way out to the surface that needed to be taken care of.
As the rain was pretty heavy 🌧 at that point Ms H tripple checked with me if I am OK to continue. It was bearable but needed to admit I had second thoughts at some point 🙄.
I have managed to complete the task in around 1h and 10 mins. My proceedings must have annoyed a giant earth worm 🪱 as it moved from the central space in the garden to a nearby pot.
Soaked but happy - I went home after putting a waste bag in secure space and saying goodbye to Ms H. She seemed very pleased with the outcome.
