Of THAT acrylic glass!!! Thank you

5:14 pm
doseffing
... but the clouds are moving in ... and it looks like it's going to rain ... so I'd better spend another half hour in the great outdoors ... ... maybe I can spoil my obnoxious neighbors family bar-be-que with the sound of the lawn mower ... she'll hate that ... and I'll laugh ... ... luck to all ... and g'night

Son of Soodle, who lives in the UK came home for a week at the beginning of August. I asked him to cut my hedges. Which he did. Down. To the ground. Only stumps remain. In reply to my anguished query 'WHY?', he cheerfully replied... Well! I'll never have to do THAT
