ALTERING MOWING WITH AN EGO

It's another lovely day here today.
I waited until midday before mowing the lawns, out of respect for ANZAC day.

The trouble is though that the mower wouldn't start.
It wouldn't start last time either and now the lawn weeds are getting quite high.



What a gyp!
The mower is only 25 years old and has been given loving care, care, petrol and sometimes oil over the years. I put it in the lee of the shed so it hasn't been subjected to driving rain like some of my other garden tools so - what gives?

What gives?

I gave up on 'Mr Mower' as Richard would say and ordered an EGO battery line trimmer from on-line Mitre 10. They will be able to deliver that next week when we go to Level-3.

We don't have a lot of lawn - just a bit out the back and a scrappy strip below the deck out front so I figure that I'll be able to deal to the grass and the weeds with a line trimmer.

Sorry Mr VICTA.

You don't have a lot of interesting posts either.

"You don't have a lot of interesting posts either." Said the guy who posted about a trumpet, a rusty shed and views of the Hutt Valley recently!

It would cost me a lot more than that to get it to Petone and anyway, even under Level - 3, it is most likely impossible.

Anyway - we're in the country up here so I can always get some sheep - or cows to keep the grass down.
Mind you, that means that Richard won't come to visit. He's scared of cows.
