I was three-quarters of the way through my first bit of front lawn when it struck me the mower was blowing out a lot of grass.
"Perhaps the box is full," thinks I. I open the lid and am surprised to find it empty. And I can see the blade. "That's not usual," thinks I again.
Yes, I'd forgotten to replace the box so had been blowing cut grass all over the place.
This is what happens when I boast.
At least I should sleep well tonight.
No harm done.
ReplyDeleteTrue!
DeleteIt's good mulch!
ReplyDeletePrecisely. I did it deliberately.
DeleteIt's good for the garden!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is.
DeleteOh well, it makes good mulch.
ReplyDeleteThat's a relief!
DeleteOh…maybe not!
ReplyDeleteI am cutting again today and will make sure I'm concentrating.
DeleteBack when I cut grass I rarely bagged the trimmings. It was easier (and better for the environment) to let them fall back onto the yard.
ReplyDeleteGood to know I'm helping the environment!
DeleteOh, well. These things happen. I clogged the lawnmower the last time I used it and have been desperately trying to unclog it since but she still refuses to start. I am disconsolate. I also knocked the bag that collects the trimmings off the large tool box. The bag has a hard edge, which hit my right arm and hand and left me with huge bruises. I'm a mess, as usual.

I think we'd get on well, Janie!
DeleteLie and learn . . . and laugh!
