Gardener

 We have been wanting to replace our gardener for a while since he started to come only sporadically. Twelve years ago the monthly fee he didn't change. Only now he only came once a month, which still made his service kind expensive. But, the firing never happened even though we talked about for at least more than one year.

Now, at end of this year, he came and said he need retire. He is firing us instead. Twelve years later, our gardener is much much old, that probably would explain his declined frequency showing up last several years. 

Ok,  things converge eventually. Sad though.
