Nothing wrong in that.

I got excited about the new Tesco Metro that opened near us the other day. No more driving to the cash point now.

And, actually, I think that's the wrong model in the picture - mine had a bigger deck and no power steering. rolleyes

I realised the other day that I'm starting to enjoy gardening.

It's all down hill from here......

I must be getting old, too. The ladies of the house have the heating on and the windows open and it drives me nuts. A few years ago it wouldn't have bothered me at all.

3.5 that's grass at the moment. Another 2.5 that's too steep and needs a brushcutter.

Yep, great big Honda thing that just about kills me with vibes. 4.5hp I think. With a quad blade on it will happily cut a 2" thick branch... yikes

Cool. Somehow I don't think we could justify having one. I bought a professional hedgecutter as we have an acre plot - fully hedged in. So much fun!

I'm thirty this year and I would love a sit on lawn mower. My other half thinks its ammusing that one of my aspirations in life is to have a lawn big enough to own one.
