Surprisingly no poppies have err.. popped up this year in the ol' opium patch. Was worried they'd take over again. Last year was like 4 consecutive green bins full of those fuckers. I see one, I'm pulling it out.

I'd imagine that'd be at full tilt.

Today we are cleaning downpipes again.

Recently bought a 15m drain hose thing that attaches to the cheapo gerni thing. Did a few yesterday and the noise changed from 'you need a laxative' to 'wtf did you eat last night gurgle'. I think that's progress.
