I burned out our electric flymo a few years ago fighting with the long wet grass. It got replaced with a petrol strimmer - MUCH better!

My lawnmower expired a couple of weeks ago.

You'd have thought now would be a good time to get a new one CHEAP >>>>>> but there's no stock.

In the absence of any sheep gifs

First frost of the year this morning, was 1 degree in the garden at 8.00 this morning.

 

[Piltdownpaul]

Same here rolfw 1.4 degrees

 

[Channel Hopper]

Not quite a frost, 2 degrees, and it would have been a lovely morning, had some neighbours dog slept in rather than bark continuously from 7.40 am.

 

[wod]

well I'm going to attempt to cut the grass today, blue skies here.

It does look wet but shouldn't be a problem for lawn mower.

Another miserable week of high winds, rain and flooding beckons

 

[Analoguesat]

Oh joy - the garden is still sodden after the last downpour

After a lovely mild afternoon, we are now experiencing the grand-daddy of all Thunderstorms, with torrential rain and high winds.

If it hits 40+ degrees and the power grid collapsed cos of people using A/C too much, then I'll call it an Indian summer...

 

[Piltdownpaul]

It'll save me putting the heating on for another week!!

This morning some great cobwebs in the fog , 6.2 degress C and 89% humidity.

 

[Lazarus]

SWMBO has got out for her morning walk despite it being very foggy here on the edge of t'Moors and across into t'Vale of Mowbray: She might be gone some time ................

 

[Topper]

No fog West of the Pennines just blazing sunshine for the third day in a row

 

[Piltdownpaul]

The suns burning that fog away ,i'm watching my signal strength creep up,i'll be up the ladder in an hour!

 

[Lazarus]

That won't get you more than a few meters closer to the Sun, though :-biggrin
