Every Bleeding Summer

This bloke looks quite harmless...



...nonetheless, every bleeding summer, this allotment gardener starts his two-stroke cycle water pump at exactly the time when I'm trying to have a few quiet moments on my balcony. I live close to a busy airport and there are about seven railway lines at spitting distance. However, none of those makes a fraction of the noise this tiny little pump does.

What does it do? Is that water or fertilizer?

I'd actually like the trains but sometimes I guess they'd wake me up.

I'm glad I've got you with my photos. hehe

He is really a donkey. But I still think that the worst is, when he pumps water on sundays.

I love when my building manager leaves a "noise ordinance" on my front door but then has no problem mowing the lawn at 7:15 am on a Saturday frickin' morning!

Ever hear of Roundup? That would take care of this guys garden for you...I can send it over if you like?
