My new toy!

[Guest]

Had two electric lawn mowers die on me last weekend leaving me with a back lawn the SAS could use for jungle training.  My better half popped out this morning and come back with this.





my first petrol mower and I love it.  Grass back to a nice medium cut, to low and it would be straw in this heat.......


Still needs weathering up and possibly a tri colour camo scheme but for now, it looks like I cannot get out of cutting the grass anymore.

Makes it a lot easier dont it. Dont cut the grass to short. short grass is a breeding ground for weeds. Keeping it a bit longer will strengthen the grass and choke out the weeds. (if you have any.


Our green bits are more moss and weeds than grass!!!  >

Don't do the camo...you may lose it.

Nice one, I only have a small area and the electric does for that, all the rest is maintenance free, I.E pebbles


Have fun and make sure you start it up at 6 in the morning during the summer to wake the neighbours up

I am very happy with it Barry.  I was a bit unsure when I read some of the reviews while better half went and got some oil and petrol (I think she thought it came with some  :/ ) but it started first time and, due to my buggered knees, it proceeded to drag me round the garden at a slightly faster walking pace than I am comfortable with  > . Still, by the time I had finished the back and smaller front lawns, I was getting the hang of it xD

Only until you retire......!

I believe it is a prerequisite of retirement that you are obliged to get up earlier even though there is no logical reason for doing so.  That is why my neighbors are about before me, they are all retired!  Anyone know why?

Probably needed a wee.

Can't be that as I do that at 2:00, 4:30, 6:30 and 7:00 > then I get up at 8:00

[colin m]

Beats me then. I'll have to wait 19 years and find out for myself.......................

So why is it then that retired people get up much earlier than when working?  Is there something that makes getting up for work so horrible we just don't want to do it?  I don't know but after one week tomorrow, I will start to find out
