Here's Chris Brown during another day of hard slog as part of his community service punishment for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna.

Not really – the shamed R'n'B star appeared to make light work of his weed-clearing assignment in Richmond, Virginia.

He was all smiles as he greeted a friend who came to visit him on site.

And during a break a shirtless Chris was seen texting away on his phone and chilling out against his custom range rover.

He also bonded with the boys over a tattoo-comparison session.

Hopefully in between all the fun and games, Chris can find the time to remember why he's actually there.
