Working Hard at Work and Home

The time since the start of the year has been a bit of a blur.  Work has taken over from study and some of the inequalities of the office are becoming more obvious and favouritism is becoming just part of the everyday.  I don't like the office to feel like that and it is pushing me even harder to leave the department where I work.  You always think that the government would be at the forefront of reforming workers rights (due to the large since of the working population and inherent power of collective bargaining).  Unfortunately that does not seem to be the case at all.  

Still, this post is not about having whinge about a job but removing stresses.  Unfortunately for the lemon tree in my back yard, it did not end well.

After a quick trim I stood back to see if it was lopsided.  It was and so I kept on going.

After a quite a bit of work some galahs came over to have a look.  From what they left on the tree and my tools, lets say they didn't think much of my work.

Finally, after about an hour and a half of hard work, I recruited Anne for this bit, the tree was down.

Now I've just have to admire my haul of lemons and start finding some recipes for them.  That might be even more work than I had in mind.  Either way, at least the cooking will help to destress me from a very busy year so far.
