We obtained our new flymo yesterday and after a quick cup of tea got to work starting on the overgrown lawn in the back. After a cut and a rake and a couple of repeats we got the lawn down to an acceptable level. We even included a wild triangle at the top. The flymo certainly got a baptism of fire yesterday, no hard feelings lawn mower.
Looks like we’re getting a new lawnmower tomorrow so we’ll be cutting the grass as soon as we assembled said device. We’ll be cutting all of it in the front and about three quarters of it in the back, keeping a bit wild as per. We’ll be waiting outside at Argos tomorrow at 11am tapping our imaginary watch if we see a member of staff through the window and will be mouthing “It’s gone eleven, it’s gone eleven”.
Last Friday evening we had a first here, well not actually here but on the estate backing us. There was a lawn mower going like the clappers from about 8pm to about 10.30 pm. That’s the latest we’ve EVER heard a mower going! Turns out it was a resident as the next evening was an outdoor birthday party held on the grassed area (playing some great music by the way) It’s not a massive estate but a sort of place a council mower on a back of a tractor can do in 15 minutes. Let’s hope the mower they used had headlights! The question is, was the edging done?
And we had another first, our mad big poppy grown from seed has just flowered (above). Well worth the wait! More on oriental poppies here.
