Good Intentions

I'm a little bit annoyed with my landlord at the moment.  Firstly he let me know that he was going to trim back some of the trees alongside my driveway.  Great, I have no objections to that.  But when he said trim, what he really meant was cut down entirely.  Which I was less than thrilled about because it reduces some of my privacy (I can see more of the road from my house, and vice versa) and may also increase the traffic noise I'm exposed to.  And then today, he and one of his sons cleaned my house roof.  I've been through this before, and it's horribly messy - the pressure-washing brings down all kinds of debris everywhere.  And sure enough, the outside of my house is a mess - and doesn't smell great either.  The problem is that they don't really clean up after themselves properly, so I need to do that myself tomorrow.  And something that happened today that hasn't happened before is that a little bit of water leaked inside - via the skylights in my bedrooms, and also via the extraction fan in my kitchen.  This was unexpected - I've had to wash a duvet cover that got dirty, and not happy that some of my belongings on the kitchen counter got wet.  First world problems right.
