Man, what a day! I woke up in Uddevalla, ready to tackle some trees. You know, just another day in the life of an arborist. But boy, was I in for a wild ride.
First off, I hit the road on my trusty old bike. The sun was shining, and I thought, “Today’s gonna be chill.” I zipped down Kungsgatan, dodging pedestrians like a pro. Seriously, people need to watch where they’re going! I almost took out a lady with a stroller. Who brings a stroller to the city center anyway?
So, I get to this job on Strandgatan. Big ol’ oak tree, roots all messed up. I’m thinking, “This is gonna be easy peasy.” But then, outta nowhere, it starts pouring! Like, what the heck, weather? I’m soaked in seconds. I mean, I love a good rain, but not when I’m trying to work!
I’m up in the tree, trying to trim branches, and I slip. My heart’s racing, and I’m like, “This is it! I’m gonna become a Uddevalla legend for falling outta a tree!” But I catch myself. Phew! I’m still alive, folks.
Then, while I’m up there, I spot this cute café across the street. It’s called “Kafé Kanel.” I can smell the cinnamon rolls from up high. I’m thinking, “Man, I need one of those after this.” But no time for treats. Gotta focus on the tree.
Finally, I finish the job. I’m feeling like a champ. But then, I see a bunch of kids playing soccer on the street. They’re kicking the ball around like it’s the World Cup. I can’t help but smile. Kids are the best, right? But then, one of them kicks the ball right at me! I dodge it like a ninja. “Nice shot, kid!” I yell. They laugh.
After that, I head over to the Uddevalla harbor. The view is stunning. The water’s sparkling, and I’m just standing there, soaking it all in. But then, I see this seagull swoop down and steal someone’s fries. I mean, come on! Those fries didn’t stand a chance. I laugh out loud.
But then, my phone buzzes. It’s my boss. “We need you at the park!” he says. Ugh, fine. I pedal over to the park, and it’s chaos. Trees down everywhere from the storm. I’m like, “Great, just what I needed.”
I start working, and it’s exhausting. I’m sweating, cursing under my breath. But then, I see this old man sitting on a bench. He’s watching me, and he gives me a thumbs up. That made my day! I’m like, “Yeah, I’m doing something good here.”
As the sun sets, I finally finish. I’m dead tired but happy. I ride back home, thinking about that cinnamon roll I never got. But hey, tomorrow’s another day, right?
Uddevalla, you crazy city, you’ve got my heart. I love the chaos, the beauty, and the unexpected moments. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
