You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

I managed to get the Jasmine trimmed back earlier, had to trick the dog into front room, turn on music, shut the door & then sneak outside to get trimmer & ladder.
She has very acute hearing & reacts to noise with loud barking, hence the attempt at using the hedge trimmer without her hearing.

Its sheer hell when I have to do the hedge because clever clogs can open the door of the room nearest the hedge, stroll over to the window & bark loudly to make sure the human doesn't miss any bits. She also insists on going outside immediately I finish lawn mowing to do a quick inspection in case the human has done a proper job.
