Urgent gardening requests????? Ah, this is work, is it not? If not, stuff it. If so - are you allowed a little vacay?
ETA and if Hebe's old enough to drive she sure as he'll can wash some bedding.

yes work. made the effort, went, and she got impatient and has had some "landscape" service cut everything to the ground. probably killing most of it. I'm so ready to dump this insane client but we need the $$
No, Hebe cannot wash the bedding. She has like 10 minutes to get her homework done tonight. and it would make her feel even more like crap which I'm not about to do. It's done anyway. washed, dried, folded. Even te fitted sheet. Laundry is the least of my worries, it's the one thing I do kep on top of and the machine does most of it. I was just feeling a little sorry for myself, I though that'd be allowed in the postho thread

Of course it is. I'm just trying to offer practical solutions. Here, have a

instead. Moan away, that's what we're here for (among other things).

thanks. most practical short-term solution: hire storage lock-up and haul it all out. Or chuck it all in the garage and have both cars in the driveway. but I'd at least like to nod in the direction or a longer-term solution or I'll just feel even shitter about myself. ah well. On the plus side, went to the gym instead of working for crazy garden chick and swam half a mile then had 10 minutes in the hot tub in an attempt to destress a little. maybe it worked. But people were assholes in the pick-up-line at school. I guess all racing to get out of town before each other. Polo game tonight. Local Derby. not too exciting though. We're in a "building" year and expect to be slaughtered.

Lil' Pete landed in London yesterday to join the throngs.

monster · 04-18-2014, 09:51 AM

How old is she again? Are you apprehensive?

Griff · 04-18-2014, 10:07 AM

19. Not really apprehensive, she's been in Milan all semester with side trips to Athens, Rome, Barcelona, and the Italian Alps so I'm used to her wandering. She is in a sketchy hostel for the moment,..

monster · 04-18-2014, 10:20 AM

She just needs to keep her valuables inaccessible, she'll be fine.

thanks

She's an old hand at Europe, and smarter than the average bear, but that doesn't matter. She could be ensconced in the US Embassy with 24 Marine Corps guards, Dad must exercise his prerogative to worry a little. Keeps him young, you know.

Griff · 04-18-2014, 11:39 AM

24 Marine Guards! Who will watch the watchers?

xoxoxoBruce · 04-18-2014, 06:34 PM

She's smart, she can pit them against each other at will.

Sundae · 04-19-2014, 12:51 AM

L'il Pete has lucked out with the weather!
Or maybe she brought it with her and I should be thanking her.

Hope she has a wonderful time. London is full of wonders.
