Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Six Sentence Story
Denise is the host.
Prompt word:
EDGE
“Go on wid yer now, we’re not payin’ the likes of you to lay about on the grass, counting the clouds!”
Trevor McAleister, remembering his doctor’s mild scolding during his last visit to hospital, ‘Blood pressure, Trevor, it’ll be the death of you’, counted to ten.
“Your mate, the fella with the odd name… Scottish bloke I reckon, what was ‘is name now?”
Taking off his cap, Trevor looked towards the front yard of his newest client’s house, a modest cottage on Church Lane in Girton, felt renewed determination to maintain his calm, continued, “Seasaw … no, Cedric… no, nothing so high class… Ceayr! Blimey, that was it!”
“Find your pally and finish up here, we have three more houses to do before dark,” reaching the front gate he turned and called back to his worker, “An don’t forget, after you two finish mowing the grass, you have to trim the ‘edge.”

Makes me curious on what happens before or after this ‘slice of life’…
Oh, that’s the reason of the nocturnal cramps!
Nice how you squeezed ‘edge’ in right at the edge there, Clark!
thankee, Mr Tom
A pleasure!
Come to think of it, Clark, you didn’t pay me for that job, and after I travelled all the way down to darkest Englandshire
lol… you mean outside Worschester-by-Ham-on-Rye, in the Low Highlands?
those people have funny names for places (this from a person who lives near a coastal community named, Quonochontaug)
I liked the introduction of the ‘Scottish bloke’ but best of all is that final line! LOL
yeah this was one of those Six that we reverse-written… once I have the English pronunciation in my head.
Nice description of the boss in spite of his blood pressure trying to motivate the lawn crew.
thanks Frank

Now I get the reference to the wee Scottish chappie elsewhere. Fun Six, clark. :-)
That made me smile.
And i do like the trimming of the ‘edge.
Nice touch.
