Day 90 - 9.5.2012

I know who I should be hiring to do my odd jobs - pensioners!

On my walk today I saw an incredible amount of retirees doing tasks that I deem to be boring, or unnecessary.

In their spare time, the over-50's are:

1. Pulling weeds out of the Council's verge.
2. Up on ladders washing windows so high they can't even see out of them.
3. Blackening the tyres of their Toyota Crown's.
4. Painting the outside of their fence (that backs onto a park).
5. Removing millipedes from the outside walls of their home (and throwing them onto the street).
6. Sculpting shrubs into cones.
7. Re-positioning their mailboxes (because they can't see out of their rear view mirror anymore).
8. Putting up lights in time for Christmas (it's May).
9. Hosing down their driveways (water ban season has lifted).
10. Chopping down non-fruiting trees (presumably for fire wood).

 I can't even manage to make a sandwich on a good day!
