A drop or two of oil and a working mower!

I got the manual mower out of the store at the weekend and had a look at it today but it was jammed solid! So plenty of WD 40 and then in to phone benefits again on behalf of Rose. So an hour later the mower had become usable. But before using it I went to the chemist to get some painkillers and called in at the mobility shop. I was asking about rollaters but the woman in the shop couldn’t be bothered to move off her chair and come out of the office she was in to talk to me, so I won’t be buying one there!

I do love this mower so was hoping it would manage the lawn which is getting long.

I decided to try doing the lawn at the front of the garden near the road, not an overly big area.

I did tidy up the edges and tried to tidy a bit where it is growing into the path. Had to empty the grass bag quite a lot of times so plenty of exercise today!

I had been working for a couple of hours and the leg isn’t too good today so decided to 

stop there. When I was emptying the last lot of grass I took a picture of the well aged fungi, but they look great whether just formed or dying off!

I went out and sat in the walled garden for a while and spotted mating ladybirds! Will post both photos, they are slightly different but thought they were pretty clear as taken with the phone.

I have been at the sorting again, one day I will have a place for everything and everything in its place! But don’t hold your breath on that one as there is a very good chance it never will happen!

Have visited Sarah and David this evening, thankfully they didn’t moan about the coronation too much!
