Tidying the shed. Part 3

 Still at Step 1.


I had to toss up yesterday whether to tidy the shed up tidy up the front of the section. 

The section option, a bigger job, won. 

It was very hot and the first part of the job required use of my crappy old weed eater - I'd given my new one to my son. I cut the big lawn but had decided to leave a few parts uncut because numerous bees are attracted by the countless little flowers that seem to sprout up everywhere. I wanted to be environmentally friendly. I wasn't too sure how it would look, but it looks fine. 

I didn't mow the middle part nor the part under the trees.
I also left another bit by the letterbox but that's not in the picture.

I'd just finished mowing and went to turn the machine off, but it wouldn't turn off. Then the 'turn it off knob' broke. I thought fast and got some pliers. I managed to turn it off by pulling a bit close to the engine. All good, except now there is no way to restart it. 

Not the actual lawn mower.

Mine is an old lawnmower and I don't think I can teach it new tricks, so I might need to get a replacement. 

This all gets in the way of tidying the shed. I guess that means that this series will at least have a Part 4.

The Curmudgeon will be pleased about that. Ah! The things I do to keep him happy!

Was this post some kind of an allegory of your aging body?

Hearing about your lawn challenges (or about your challenged approach to dealing with your lawn) is all very well Matey but it doesn't solve the problem of where we are going to have lunch on Sunday.

Funny but my lawn gear recommendation won't post.

There must be some kind of ban on the use of the brand I recommend. I'll tell you about it on Sunday.

Neither 2-stroke or 4-stroke though because it's electric.
