SUMMER JOBS



Decided to shift some dirt and clean out my stables and yards with this little machine..Grandson, Joe, "Grandmas don't do that, they girls" I have news for that little chauvinistic boy.....
The machine is a horror but does quite a few jobs, a headache from the noise and sore hands from the shuddering juddderin piece of equipment. The broken bones in my fingers from October are quite sore.



All the available holidaying kids into work on the renovations of the old house my youngest purchased for rental. Had done the insides up some months ago with stained floors, new carpets and new paint and three young rentors, girls would you believe, trashed the place. Broken glass, animal waste ground into the new carpets, doors on cupboards off, paint off walls and to top it off their names spray canned on the front porch. My son not a happy chappy and kicked them out forthwith ...I do not know of the legalities but he was so angry as trusted them and did not check up as is away working on construction.
New tenants due to move in next week and do hope he has screened them a little better.

Joe is painting for his Dad and has the wrong colour on the steel...oh well when it dries can be fixed. "Mum all you did was take his photo...why did you not stop him". Hey I am the Grandmother and I do not have to rouse. He he

Aren't little boys (and girls) funny, set so firmly in their clear cut boy/girl roles at such an early age. Oh well, he's got all the time in the world to start realising that there will always be people like Grandma who will confound their stereotypes! Thank goodness he will be exposed to rebels and renegades!

Hope your son's tenant experiences improve next time around.

And yes, Grandmothers don't have to rouse, I think being the photographer is much more important!

Tenants - a right pain in the neck at times. The people who were in our home before used to use the place as :

a brothel/massage parlour
a cattery
a bikers hangout
live band stage

I hope your son has better luck this time round!

You've certainly been busy over the holidays! Wonderful posts.
Those tomatoes are a hypnotic red.

I'm having trouble posting comments on everyone's blog, so fingers crossed this goes through...

Got to get him out of that Lizzie....My sons were the same but now they know that all work no matter what it is , is shared amongst us all....Much to their disgrace.....lol

Some people have no respect for other peoples property or belongings.....I`m damned sure they wouldn`t like it done to their stuff...
