Money Well Spent

The new mower, an electric rotary mower has done a sterling job on the garden, I’m pleased to say. I managed to get it done on Monday (spending my day off mowing the garden, I know!). It chucked it down Tuesday though so it’s all for the best. Unfortunately the wife wants the hedge cutting now so I’ll have to dig out my old hedge trimmers. Let’s hope they work after all these years!

Argh Its Broken!

Would you believe it, the weather’s been good! I thought I’d mow the lawn but lo and behold, the mower’s buggered. No, not because of that incident with the power cable, I fixed that. It’s something far worse, something my rudimentary mechanical skills have no chance with. So it looks like an impending trip to B&Q! I’ll take the boy along to teach him manly talents like choosing power tools and pushing industrial trolleys (not those girly supermarket trolleys). I’ve been doing a bit of research and it seems that the best type of mower is… a cheap one :) !
