A day in the garden: help Roshan in Colombo
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Roshan's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Colombo for 32 years. After the storm in September, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of poor eyesight.
The council has told me it will be six weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

so sorry you're going through this, Roshan. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
rooting for you, Roshan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Colombo.
