Goodonya, you missed a bit...
I did give some serious thought to mowing the lawn today, I even went out the back and lay on the ground to see if it was wet -- it was, so I flagged it for tomorrow. You can't take any chances with the elective mower in the wet!

Pics coming tomorrow....

This is what you require, Rob...

My trusty Briggs and Stratton Lawn petrol mower.

Just pull the cord and off you go...>>>

Effortless...(almost)... ;) ...!

Supply your own petrol!

..the fence at the far end always ensures a positive stop...

Just make sure that you miss the Lavender Tree on the way in....

..and the wooden Hangar on the right.

Paul.... :D ...!

Its always the noisy, nosy, Police Helicopters hovering overhead, that gives me cause for concern....

...which is why I hate (noisy) Helicopters!... :D ...!

Objects have never been an issue. I have a couple of RR Trents that take care of those for me...

I don't mind the noisy helicopters ... it's the silent black ones that annoy me, the rotor wash keeps knocking off the tin foil hat!!!!

A bit of GladWrap over the top and under the chin will get you out of that little difficulty :ph43r:

Well, I see on 29 April I promised to mow my lawn... you'll be pleased to know that I got around to it today. Three nice dry days and a bit of wind helped. Now I can leave it until spring!
