Half a Job

Yesterday a guy came to trim the palm tree, he got half finished and then went home. He also wanted to be paid for half the job, with the promise he would be back at ten this morning. It is now 11.30 a.m. and he still has not arrived which is not unusual in Spain. The one good thing is, he left his tools behind so we know he will be back sometime. I have spent the morning clearing up the mess, not just the palm peelings next to the tree but also the ones Shula stole to take round the corner to chew.
