Mow-town
Currently Listening To:Jesus In A Camper Van from the album "I've Been Expecting You" by Robbie Williams
I just had to mow the lawn outside. It was the single most thankless and fruitless task in the history of gardening. We have a mower that is shitness, one of those Flymo jobbies, which basically have a 6v electric fan motor whirring inside.
Depressingly the things which needed to be cut were so tall that they were pressed down too far for the wretched blade to reach by the crappy sides of the blade shield. In order to cut anything I had to sort of sneak up on the grass and launch the mower, through the air, right on top of it. It was like being a ninja, only a ninja stalking in a small garden lugging an immensely noisy piece of gardening equipment.
It took a full 40 minutes for an area of grass only about 50 feet square as I mower-hopped my way around in a theatrical manner.
Boy and I glad I won't have to do that for a while :)
Later
Johna
