cleaning day

 Hectic day cleaning of the fish pond and the coconut trees. Shekhar the watchman cleaned the coconut trees his earlier profession was plucking coconuts so he was fully equipped with one rubber ring round his waist and the tree and one smaller one round his legs with a basket tied to his waist for the knife.However I had to clean up the litter around the trees once the cleaning was done not just stuff from the tree but a few pots with plants under it broke so had to rescue the plants.
Then there is the fish tank which needed cleaning the fish transfered to a bucket while the cleaning was on and then put back quite a tricky task with the wriggling fish!

Got 10-12 coconuts from each of the three trees

Birds decided to visit the clean tree
 The squirrel family is not too happy they seem disappointed with all the messy fiber on the tree top gone....they were busy whole afternoon inspecting the three trees in turn.
