Kash and Sevan's mission to Mr R had them tackling the same problem as their last visit, the brambles and weeds in Mr R's large back garden. They had a new plan to clear the space and get the better of nature, but nature had other ideas and ways to thwart them.

Last time, Mr R's strimmer had been no match for the brambles and trying to clear a network of brambles that criss-crossed the ground with only shears hadn't been effective either. This time, ivy tactics were deployed with one raking the brambles to find what was still stuck in the ground and the other wielding the blades to cut them free.

After clearing the worst of the brambles near Mr R's back door, nature deployed its secret weapon. Darkness. Yes, this was Kash and Sevan's first 4pm gardening mission since the clocks had changed for winter and it got dark quickly. With one head torch between them, they kept the blades chopping and rolled up the longer vines to create a festive brambleman for Mr R's back garden.

Kash and Sevan's ankles were still being tickled by thorns at the end of the task, so there is more to be done. Mr R was very happy with the progress in the garden and more concerned about the state of his phone. The screen had gone funny and he'd been asking CharGPT for a solution since the start of the mission without any luck. GoodGymers do tech support too and Kash and Sevan diagnosed and fixed the problem in 30 seconds. Take that AI apocalypse 😛!
