Merton Report written by Gosia Rybacka
I have visited Ms H right after finishing my earlier lawn mowing mission. I arrived perfectly on time ⌚️. I rung doorbell a couple of times and got no response so I eventually called Ms H on her mobile 🤳. Only then she opened the door and welcomed me (she said she didn't hear the bell).
She led me to the backgarden and - being very frank here - it looked incredibly well maintained already. It was mostly some tiny 🔎 weeds sticking out between the tiles but it wasn't that much. There were also patches laid out with stones/gravel where the weeds found their way out to the surface that needed to be taken care of.
As the rain was pretty heavy 🌧 at that point Ms H tripple checked with me if I am OK to continue. It was bearable but needed to admit I had second thoughts at some point 🙄.
I have managed to complete the task in around 1h and 10 mins. My proceedings must have annoyed a giant earth worm 🪱 as it moved from the central space in the garden to a nearby pot.
Soaked but happy - I went home after putting a waste bag in secure space and saying goodbye to Ms H. She seemed very pleased with the outcome.

I have arrived few minutes past 11 as was misled by the navigation 🧭🤔. Ended up working a bit longer so fully covered my 1.5h slot.
Ms H and her sister already started some work in the garden 👩🌾👩🌾 when I arrived. They were preparing a lawnmower for me - incl. cable extension and sharpening the blades to make the work a bit smoother. While they did that I have started deweeding but then moved to the lawnmower as soon as it soon as it was ready.
Mowing the lawn was pretty straightforward but the area was quite bit so it took me around 50 mins to complete the task. I am still quite surprised with how quickly the container was filling up with the grass 🌱 and leaves 🍃 and needed to be emptied.
After that was done, I came back to deweeding tasks, prioritising the central square area of the garden. Made it all nice and clean 👌 before starting on the weeds near the fence.
Unfortunately I run out of time ⏳️to fully finish deweeding so there is still quite big area that requires help (maybe another mission). I used old carpet pieces to cover the cleaned area (as I was requested to do) so the weeds won't be able to regrow.
The sisters were really grateful for help and also very caring - they kept offering me breaks, water ect. The rain 🌧 started to be quite heavy so I left the property quite wet once I finished.
