one day after saying i wouldn't cut the weed infested lawn, i did it. but, i stuck to my guns in regards to not doing the weeding - it was, and is, too insane. but i went there monday after work and hammered it put and got it done...it was a bastard. and even though i was a sweaty mess - not that she knew - ailsa invited me over for some dinner with her and fiona. well, they had finished their dinner but had a little left that i was more than happy to hoss down. thanks garvie.
on tuesday i was cutting a lawn at lunch that belongs to local artist jim cummins' - aka braineater - dad...well, his mom lives there too. anyhow...it turns out his dad has been having some problems with his sight - possibly glaucoma - and is going in for an operation very soon. he came out and gave me an envelope full of cash because he wanted to make sure i got what i was owed before he went in the hospital. i wished him luck and told him that while glaucoma is bad, and it is, now he could try smoking pot to reduce the swelling in the eyes...he laughed and said i wasn't the first person to tell him that....
tonight after work andrew and i headed over to gastown to my other joint and replaced the kitchen tap set...it really is shit simple but having not done it before i coaxed andrew into coming along and making sure i didn't totally fuck it up...i didn't and now my tenants have a tap that doesn't spray everywhere...it was quick and clean...thanks andrew.
and...i'm pretty excited. tonight when i got home and went out on the deck and was having a little look around i saw my first tomato of the season. i've only grown tomatoes once before and it wasn't a wicked success but i'm hoping these will be. the plants are huge and have many flowers so my fingers are crossed.
ok...i need a snack.
