Kash and Sevan had an early morning mission booked in with Mr S, so when he didn't answer the door, they wondered if he was still in bed. His neighbour came to the door, gave Mr S a call and he appeared soon afterwards. Given the grey skies and threat of rain, he'd expected that the mission would be cancelled. No way would a little bit of rain deter Kash and Sevan!

Mr S hadn't been able to get his back door open as it was a bit sticky. It meant that he hadn't been able to go into the garden to find tools, nor let his beautiful white cat, Tiffany, out into the garden. Sevan gave it a firm shove and it swung open, revealing a garden with some weeds which otherwise didn't look too bad.

The task was to cut Mr S' rose bushes back down to a manageable size, to remove the ivy from his fence and weed the very weedy flowerbeds on one side of the garden.

Sevan got stuck into cutting back the ivy, which was weaving in and out of Mr S' trellis fence, while Kash turned over the soil in the flowerbeds and pulled out the weeds. They were accompanied by the smell of bacon wafting out of the kitchen door for Mr S' breakfast, making them hungrier and hungrier throughout the task.

With the weeding nearest the house complete, Kash moved on to cutting back the rose bushes and brambles while Sevan was still battling the thick ivy branches. Everything was bagged up as the task came to an end, leaving Mr S and Tiffany to enjoy their cooked breakfast.
