Subject: Bad, bad day
Hi, I am pretty upset. I was out on work on
Friday and when I came home my maid told me the town council had decided to
destroy all our gardens-plants on the ground. She stopped them from harming
ours but the neighbours lost all theirs. Some were screaming bloody
murder.Well it seems some bozzo complained about mosquitoes and they think the
plants give them space to breed and hide.That's ridiculous as there's no
standing water.We also found out that the Town council is entering us in the
Cleanest Precinct competition and want to win the Gold medal. I'm sure it'll
be good for their careers but what do we get?
They came round later to our place and I asked
them to give me time till Saturday to transplant the one I can save. The
guys carrying out the job arent happy and have asked me to appeal so Pete (my
husband) is gonna send a letter to our MP. It will be too late to save these
babies though. But maybe I can replant without any harassment.My maid is
taking it worse than me, she wants to save them all including the Banana,
Papayas, Pumpkin , Tomatoes, okra beans, cukes and
Bittermelon(Bette).
We have moved those we could to pots, some I
think may not make it. I am inconsolable. Have spent the last 2 days in tears
and barely slept. Woke up crying several times. While the land theoretically
belongs to the Management, everyone on the Ground floor (I live in a
maisonette- 2 storey apt) has been gardening for the past 12 years(even before
I moved in) without incident.Some folks may think I'm crazy for being so upset
but you guys I think would understand.
