Cleaning The Gutters

[poliphilo]

Grass is growing in the gutters below where the pigeons sit. They must be the ones dropping the seed- one way or another- and so it's my fault for feeding them. Ailz bought me a telescopic, pokey, hooky thing on a stick- because I don't climb ladders beyond the second or third rung- and I've been working it blind from a window on the first floor. Once you start getting results it's hard to stop, but it was coffee time so I did. Manual work, so long as it's not done under duress, becomes addictive. Your body gets into the groove and wants to keep going. And, of course, there are rewards- in this case the satisfying plop as a clump of grass with muddy roots hits the concrete paving below...

And now I must get back to work.

And taking care of your own house must give special satisfaction too? :)

That's true. Also it saves money.
