Let battle commence!

Glorious weekend weather meant only one thing: the first mowing of the lawn. Despite the fact that our lawn is largely moss and weeds, there were some straggly clumps of grass loosely embedded in the surrounding mud, so I got out my push mower. And promptly cursed it. The undulations of our lawn and the weird grass mix make mowing it a real chore, even if it does look considerably better afterwards. Much cursing, swearing, and sweating was involved; I really must remember that Sunday passers-by in the lane probably don't want to hear the fishwifely torrent of abuse that I aimed at the wretched mower and weeds.

Apparently, it's a lot less bovver with a hover, so it's off to B&Q (or another chain of DIY store) to get one at the weekend. Sod the environment.
