My latest water bill.
^ Yes this. Trying to keep my veggies and front lawn going is getting costly and still nowhere as good as rainwater...
tanaka hedger starts playing up, then a water meter guy with an attitude stomps into my hedge as I'm hedging, I give him an earful , he tells me I'm a dickhead as he walks away (i'm holding the pole hedger). Next job, lady has a go at me for the last time I was there reckons I missed bits. From memory the grass was so long I had to go over it twice, its just weeds. Next job I go to stomp on a redback to try and impress the customer and the friggen thing runs up the inside of me trousers. I had to pull me duds and shirt off in the garage to try and find it, but could not find it anywhere. She sprays me boots with insect spray and offers to spray me as well. I've never seen a redback as quick as that bugger.
Dont get me started on water rates. Bloody highway robbers. they get the bloody stuff for free then charge you the earth for it. Liquid land tax. Wont be long Fred before they start taxing you on your water tanks.

Maybe. She did offer me an extra $20 for the job (which i refused) and paid in cash.
I give a quote for end of lease mow and edge to a house about 2 or 3 houses up from me. I says me price, she says "is that all, book it in, needs to be done before this friday, so I say sure thing, I'll be there Wednesday arvo. Wednesday morning i get a text saying, no longer required we are doing it ourselves. I think to myself, good riddance had a busy day anyway but a bit annoyed to be told the same day.
This arvo having a drink in on the hammock I hear a blower and something twigs that it might be that house. Curiosity gets the better of me. So I get in the car and drive past and lo and behold I find a clapped out old toyata dyna pan tech with 2 stroke cans rolling around the back with a bloke about 70 walking round, could hardly walk, climbing in and out of the truck using a stepladder. Don't have a problem with it all as long as he is charging what a Jims would charge and within $10 of what I quoted.
I spend most of my money on beer and horses, I just waste the rest....

someone called my mobile last week and asked me for quote. I said to him I needed to see the site and give you the quote late afternoon.
late afternoon I went to his house and saw someone was doing the work.
it was probably 100 sq mtr in total (nature strip, front lawn & back lawn) with 60cm height grass. he was struggling to do it.
i texted the person couple hours later and told him we could do tomorrow morning for $35 since I knew by tomorrow that gardener would finished it which he might charged him arm & leg
