Oh Heck!

[gness]

Before I went away I couldn't properly lock the shed door so I booby trapped it.....good and proper....never do things by half....
I made a tall pyramid of sharp garden tools....including the almighty loppers...with an arrangement of knives and metal tubing on top which I painstakingly and slowly propped against the door as I closed it.

I had also hung a huge metal wind chime on the inside of the door with other bits and bobs on top so on opening the door the burglar would have the lot descend on him...or her...with a great clattering onto the path of anything weighty and sharp that missed the thief on the way down.

Arriving home earlier today I was amazed at how short my grass is.....hardly grown in three weeks.....puzzled me for ages until I decided to un booby trap my shed....

No trap!!! The shed is tidy and spotless and.....the lawn mower has been used.... so now I have to find out which of my lovely neighbours I have injured while they were doing me a good turn by mowing the lawn......oh bums..... they'll think I'm bonkers.....:-(

I'd better buy wine and flowers before I go door knocking...x

Check the local hospitals first.

[EcclesCake]

Ever the optimist Mamya.....I'd be checking the OBs in the local rag......l

[gness]

The grass is cut, Mamya...so they must have survived.....I just feel a little embarrassed.....well a lot embarrassed....☺

[Dee Sa]

hopefully they live near enough to you gness that they actually watched you put the whole booby trap together. They wont think your bonkers, dear, they must surely know that already .........

[gness]

That crossed my mind, Eccles.....especially if it's the lovely man who frequently has heart attacks....he's kind....x

[marval]

What lovely neighbours you have, I am sure they survived. You obviously didn't see trails of blood.

[Psybbo]

Have you checked on the occupants, is Tony ok? Good to see you back and Co Mayo has survived the visitation xx

[gness]

Dee...the only person watching was the daughter who was convinced I'd forget and injure myself.....I was quite proud of remembering.....til nothing happened....
I think the neighbours thought I was a little eccentric....but not mad....oh well..x

[gness]

Marval...I have always been so lucky with my neighbours....nice when neighbours are good and friendly.

Psyb...thanks...and Mayo survived.....I think maybe Tony has been rehomed....x

[berniecuddles]

lol gness are you in the right house!! xx

[gness]

Bernie.....think so....the wine isn't open yet....☺

How rude of them to use your lawn mower without your permission!


;-)

[jim360]

You're home now? Woot!

[gness]

And my leccy....hadn't thought of that, Boo....

Hi, Jim.....x

I am worried I hurt someone.....I mean that was my intention after all.... but I should take the bull by the wotsits and go and find out....one more coffee first.....☺

[Jomlett]

They might have planted a seed bomb that will soon spell out a naughty message to you!

[gness]

Oooo...that'd be interesting, Jom...☺...I once had to plant the name of our school in daffodil bulbs....I was sooooooo tempted to plant St. Trinian's..x

[BlueToffee]

Darn, my secret is out!

[zebo]

Did they clean it after use? I would jolly well hope so, how rude if they used your lawnmower without your permission and didn't clean it!

[gness]

Ahhh....you old softie, Blue.....wine or flowers?......☺

Never been so clean, Zebo....and the shed's tidy...well I suppose that's from putting back all the things that fell on them....

Off to buy my peace offering now....I know I'll blush when I have to explain....

hello gness

let us hope you don't have to 'shovel' out too many apologies to whoever it is, and have to end up 'raking' in some extra cash in order to 'fork' out a little compensation
