The next decade....what's in store?

He cut the grass!

Night before last night, I was walking home pretty late...it was about 9pm when I left the pharmacy just down the road from where I live.

I have two options after I leave there. Either, turn left, walk up a very very very steep hill and then I turn on to my road...

or...

...Don't turn left, but rather walk up the road and cut through the open land on the main road that is in front of my house. Remember the lady who owns the land told me she don't want nobody walking through there, so several weeks ago, she refused my request to chop a pathway through it. So with all the rain, the grass grew high high, just as tall as me (5ft 8").

Night before last night, there was a madman near the open land, so decided to turn left and take the plunge and walk up the hill. Well the dogs in the house at the corner started to yap. That would normally not be a problem, but they set off a stray dog further up the road who would just not shut up!

So I took up the earlier offer of the occupant of the house with the dogs, that if I ever needed a ride up the hill I should call her. So I did and her sister came and gave me a lift to my house.

But the point of the title is this. The following morning, a little voice said to me "go and look at the open land". So I did, and there was a nice path cut out! That means no more walking up the hill, and past the dogs, for a few months!

Incidentally, yesterday when I was walking through the land, the man who lives next door to it and was the one who cut it, was outside and he said he was wondering if I wasn't coming back (I was in Jamaica etc for a week). So I asked him if he cut the path and he said yes, and that he cut it for me. I asked him if he wasn't afraid the lady say something to him, and that I had asked her if I could cut it and she had said no. Well he said "you must just do, and don't ask!" Well I guess I stupiddy! But I was so grateful for that. Makes the walk to and from work a little more bearable.
