On a day off work, Kash spent a fantastic Wednesday morning full of activity. After a long swim, she was off to Shepherd's Bush to meet with a familiar face and a familiar garden.

Mr M, whom Kash had visited on multiple occasions, recently had a guest from his home country who helped him trim the grass. Kash knew that for Mr M the grass was never too short, even if the lawn resembled a desert with occasional weeds popping here and there. She convinced the gentleman that the grass was already short (and very dry), and it would make sense to dig out as many weeds as possible rather than mow.

The weather was perfect for a gardening mission, neither too cool nor too hot. Kash enjoyed the birdsong, the announcements from the nearby Circle line station, and a cold drink from Mr M. She removed the alkanet and bindweed from the lawn and paved area, then raked or swept the green waste that fit into two sacks. What a lovely morning it was!
