The workmen next door are taking down a tree (and some rhododendrons). And then stuffing the branches in to a wood chipper. It’s really noisy and distracting while I’m trying to write.
So of course, to take a breather, I run out to fulfill my prescriptions, and on the way back, I see them taking a break. So I stop, roll down my window and ask “Do you take ex-wives”. And without missing a beat, the older of the men turns to me and says “only dead ones”. Then laughter.
