    You Bastard.

    Haha.

    But seriously; so far Ive been enjoying the job immensely. At the end of the day I can look at what Ive done and actually see the resualts of what Ive been labouring away at (execpt for those bloody leave that keep falling down) which is quite satisfying.

    Yeah. I was watching a new lot of leaves falling on that spot in the photo about half an hour after you finished it off this morning. Poor buggers! The maintenance boys appreciate what you two are doing though.

    If the leaves keep falling I guess me and KP will always have a job, so really its not all bad.

    Personally Im starting to think that it would be much better if on the first day of Autum every single leaf on every single tree fell off at the same time and I didnt have to do the same job twice.

    That said, after using the leaf blower each day for the last week my RSI in my wrists has completly disapeard so I cant complain to much if as this job is making me healthier.

    Well it does appear that Spuds likes to use that leaf blower! Although ask him about the broom that he broke!

    Brooms dont like me. They break and punch me in the chin.

    I'll stick with the tried and true and reliable 2 stroke engine that blows hot air thank you very much.

    Yeah. We used it to clear the dust of the floor in the maintenance shed after we shifted all those old toilets etc this morning. Much better than sweeping.
