Friday is a contained version of 9/11

It was Ms Rons birthday yesterday and we drank tequila at 11am and basically carried on drinking until midnight. Yet I have no hangover 🤷‍♀️

I've done what I needed to do and now have a fairly free Friday, so I'm putting myself on Do Not Disturb and Marie Kondo'ing my emails, life just DOESN'T GET BETTER :disco:

I really want a fairly free day. I don't know why life is just one chore after another. I cannot get vaguely ontop of it all.
 
I've got a fairly free day. I'm watching athletics in my office and not doing anything I don't need to.
 
3 has to be South Korean surely.

Nobody in the North could get your hair did like THAT
 
The neighbours have rather SELFISHLY cut back their weeping willow, so now when I look out of the window instead of seeing a beautiful tree all I can see is their UGLY HOUSE!

After two lovely days off, it took all of three e-mails and one IM for my mood to completely sour.

Could they come and sort of my neighbours apple tree then, which hangs more over my garden than it does theirs, only produces rotten apples that fall all over my garden and is riddled with ivy?

:YesIHaveDone:

You are well within your rights to hack at any part of the tree that is over the boundary line and over your property. Make sure to throw the branches back over to the neighbour though.

Although twenty years ago I hacked at one of the hawthorn trees hanging over my garden from the park. The tree then decided, maybe in some form of arboreal justice, to only grow over my garden. The tree trunk now grows straight upwards until it reaches a couple of feet higher than the garden fence and then it bends over my shed roof and now it only grows branches above my garden.

Poison it
 
There's a hideous blackthorn tree that hangs over about a quarter of our garden. It's so fucking spiky, and the spikes stick into everything. It's not even a direct neighbours property, it's diagonally behind us, so we couldn't even lob it over. It's so dense and the spikes pierce the skin. I have every intention of getting a chainsaw and going to town on it over Easter.
 
Poison it
I had a lengthy conversation with a tree surgeon about the best way to go about poisoning it while he was cutting the Bay tree at work last summer. He said copper nails probably won't make any difference.

The squirrels like to have a rest in the branches so I've left it.
