I has a quiet street. Park one end, graveyard the other . Recent high winds dumped a load of leaves my end of the street (hairdryer looked like it was camouflaged) and now all the oldies are demandin all the trees that edge the park be cut back!
Never mind the dickies, never mind the bats, never mind the bloody footballs onna sundi. No! "I don't want leaves on me lawn". Clearin up leaves is the only thing that gives their lives purpose ffs
They'll be applying to turn the wind oft next
Sumtimes I think about early retirement, praps not...

Morning all. Oh boy do I have a sore head this morning.
Was great to meet some of the guys in London.
My days of 7-8 hour drinking sessions are best left as memories and not practical pursuits I think. But it is only once in a blue-moon that I go up to town.

Last Thursday. Did it after a few drying wind days and ahead of the wet forecast. And gave the lawnmower an oil change afterwards, ready for next spring.

I wouldn't cut it again now but, if you live in a very mild, dry part of the country you might get away with a very light cut.
I had a laugh the other (early) morning when my young dog had gone out to resume his sleep in the cooler climes of the garden, as a robin came bobbing along to investigate the hairy monster that had just encroached on his patch. The robin hopped around the dog who just ignored it even though it was almost touching him! Eventually the robin just hopped away to see what else had invaded his territory.

Me grass be about 2 and er bit inch long. Might even be three inch. So eye will leave it as it is as it will elp protect it un keep itself warm t'over winter.

Good evening from Milton Keynes
