Environmental vandal (mother in law rant)

[spandit]

About 4 years ago I planted a hawthorn hedge along our field up to the gate, to stop people coming up the drive and going in. We've since put gates in further down the drive and my mother in law, who unfortunately lives with us, is complaining the hedge ruins her view (of another hedge). She is adamant that it will be grubbed up (I've managed to delay it until the winter but she's frantic to get rid of it, out of spite, largely). I've even checked with the council as I'd read that hedges bordering fields were protected but sadly they don't have a problem with it being removed. Just makes me so effing angry that my hard work and expense are going to be destroyed so she can look at more of the field than she can already see.

 

 

I won't even post pictures of what she's done to the garden (we bought the house off a florist and it was stunning, now it looks as if ISIS have paid a visit) and I've lost count of the number of mature shrubs she's hacked down.

 

Just having a rant. Sorry.

Derailing a bit but I always find the modern acceptance of Karma as some kind of universal law a bit annoying
 
Karma is not a fact, it is a concept, an idea, and of course total nonsense.
 
Did Karma come round for Jimmy Saville for instance?

His life ended so it took the scenario away Mick ?‍♂️
IF people had spoken up sooner then maybe ‘karma’ (figure of speech) might have been different how it was delivered to him ?‍♂️

But they didn’t, he died at an old age a hero, Karma doesn’t exist.

Hedge is gone now, not much point going on about it anymore. 

 

Serious question, I'm making the assumptionthat you think a lot of your wife?

[monkeybusiness]

It looks better without it, I’m with your mother in law here!...

Sometimes you have to be that karma.

Your not real then either Rough Hewn [emoji849]

[Rough Hewn]

Sometimes you have to be that karma.

Sometimes you have to be the fists/club of karma.
That's very real.

I could prob of worded it a bit better with regards to my use of the expression ‘karma’ in my first quote but i dont think it would of made any difference really. Hey ho.

On this plane, for him, no. Beyond that, who knows?

Unfortunately, my wife sides with her and we do still have to live together. Issuing a bollocking does not make for a happy atmosphere and as I work away quite a bit I dread to think what I might come home to if she was set for revenge. 

Life is to short for this sort of crap, you to change things or move on, IMO.
