I've been commissioned by the Mayor of Southland to prune her much loved plum tree.
Frana Cardno lives in Te Anau, some 2 hours away from Riverton, so I'll be heading west later in the day, armed with my pruning saw and loppers.
Frana tells me she's organised a party of interested onlookers, keen to see an experienced pruner in action. Perhaps I'll slip and fall from the tree and ruin my carefully managed super-gardener persona.
Te Anau looks sunny from here, though it's also a beautiful day in Riverton. I'll have to push myself to get away.

You had back up
I did. My 'woman on the ground' directed proceedings perfectly and might have caught me, had I slipped.
Imagine an Irish brogue here:
Pat and Murphy saw a sign saying "Tree Fellers Wanted."
Murphy says to Pat, "If only Seamus was here, we'd have got that job!"
