You wouldn’t think that a tiny insect like a cricket could cause such a fuss.
Kelli was trying to sleep, but the chirping of the cricket was disturbing her.
The sound was coming from just outside our window, although double glazed she was still able to hear it.
She got up and got the broom from the laundry room and walked outside and proceeded to hit the stones covering the berm. All I could hear was the twack! twack! as she continuously swung the broom, then there was silence, no chirping. Then it would start up again followed by more thwacking.
Although I couldn’t see the drama unfolding I sniggered to myself imagining the scene.
I awoke to see one of our bamboo tubs had blown over. This was the one with the tallest shoots in it. I staggered outside to stand it up again, and to collect all the soil that had spilt.
Getting this sorted was my first job of the day.
We added more soil and a load of small pebbles to weigh the tubs down, now if it dare tip over, I’ll be nail them to the driveway.
The humidity was high again, making physical work hard. I was expect my delivery of fruit bushes and apple trees to arrive, I wanted to prepare the ground and remove the turf ready for the raspberry bushes to be planted.
Thank god the ground is sandy, it makes that job much easier although I was still dripping in sweat at the end of it.
I then discovered that the delivery was delayed until tomorrow, typical!
That just left a soak in the pool.
We had people round to collect the split dresser Kelli listed yesterday, another happy customer.
