I continued my gardening duties this afternoon by dumping chemical weapons onto the patio. Loads of weeds have started growing up through the stone gaps. My gardener, Jack, AKA Chemical Ali, nuked it all a few months ago, but the weeds have returned with a vengeance.

Claire bought a carton of weed killer in town yesterday. This was my weapon of choice. I don’t have much experience of weed killer. I remember Mandy Jordache tried to poison her mad husband with it, before stabbing him and burying him under the patio (I bet the nutrients from his decomposing body caused a few weeds!).

I must have been spraying for hours – all afternoon! In reality, it was probably about 20 minutes. Shortly after returning to the front room, for a well-deserved rest, it started to rain. Mother Nature had foiled my plans to destroy her pesky “plants”. Hopefully the poison reached the roots of the weeds before the rain had chance to wash it away. If not, in the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, “I’ll be back!”

You may have won this battle, weeds; but you haven’t won the war…

  • About Me

    So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?

    If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.

    However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.

    You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.

    All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
