JARNDICE vs. JARNDICENo one ever used the garden at the back of our St. Peter's Street flats, which was just as well, as the wall fell down. Fortunately, Louise at the bottom thought half the garden would make a refuge from her children & bought it from us. However, Louise & David are both lawyers & hired yet another to do the negotiations with our mouthpiece, Michael Palmer. The volume of paperwork generated over 20 square metres of mud was a wonder to behold. Fortunately, it did not quite develop into the famous Dickensian case. The profit slipped nicely in under our Capital Gains Tax obligations, so everyone was happy. Ken worked hard to level the garden & might even pave it, being largely, an odd-job man for the Art & Science flats now that the computer development business seems to have come to an end. Ken has had to decorate three flats this year. Having had the 'tenants from Hell' who badly damaged the basement flat in St Peter's Street, then complained to the Environmental Health that it was uninhabitable, with which both EH & Ken agreed, there was several months work to do on it. However, charitable computer work takes more time now than money-making ever did!
