Dame Part 2 and Lawnmower ettiqutte

Dame Part 2
There are possibly 3 reasons I pay attention to the Dame that lives close by.
1. I like to think I launched her career or at least made her elevevation into the realms of management very comfortable. In my my first job out of school I was an administration clerk. I am probably still an administration clerk in some respects (I plan to change this in 2008). Anyway, one of my first tasks was to assist the Dame (at that stage she was a Dame in waiting) to buy the office furnitur for her very own office. This meant assisting her with selection couches and choosing pink fabrics and curtians from Maurice Kain which at the time (1984) was Tinakori Rd based and very cutting edge for the public service - and the Dame - who is not really known for her fashion sense or hair styles. Each time we see each other she smiles at me and I smile back. I am sure she does not know my name, but does recall I helped her select primo office furniture which set her on the way the bigger and brigther things or perhaps she associates me with:
2. She spent many years in charge of a psychriatric hospital. This leads me to:
3. My prompensity on occasion to stalk

Lawn Mower etiique
Now I love mowing lawns and due to the fact that I spent a year or so on a to ride on mower on an acre of land in addition to my already lifelong knowledge of lawn mowing know a lot about lawn mowing. The first thing is to observe whether your neighbour has their bedroom curtains closed. If they do then they are either having sex or are asleep. In my case I am clearly not having sex but am asleep.
I spend most of my year getting up at 5.30am. Therefore when I am on holiday I do not think it is a big ask to want to sleep in until 9.30 am due the fact that I can actually have the luxury of staying up "late". I just don't get it - Rule no 1. Check the curtains and don't mow until they are open. Let the lawn grow a little if the curtains stay closed. AND the fricken lawn didn't even need mowing!! I especially don't get that. But somehow as the year end approaches it seems to have become imperative for most of neighbours to mow the lawn. Well. of course the neighbour on the other side who um doesn't really mow her lawn at all! Gosh, one extreme to the other!

Our terrace cushions are in good form, but we would like to
recover them due to the fact the sun has faded
the color and there are spills. I am definitely not certain of how to do this.

My brother, sister-in-law & nephew have a diabetic cat.

When I take care of my nephew I also take care of their cat.
Sometimes when my nephew and I are out we get back 15
min to 30 min late for for the cat's 1:00 feeding. Last time I actually got back an hour late.. . Is this bothering the cat or not? It's hard to tell
with him, due to the fact he just lays around all day, and sleeps.
. . Would he be feeling worse?. . The diabetes has goten a lot better and
he doesn't want to be given insulin anymore. It's controled by diet program.

I was going to encounter a red neck racist.
