I'd love a useful present!
I've been hinting to MrW for a while now that I'd
really really like an electric lawn mower
. For my birthday... just because I'm me...any old excuse!
We have little pushalong affair which only nips about half an inch off the grass, but fools MrW into thinking he's done a good job by flattening what's left!! Tough grass stems remain defiantly erect, but MrW doesn't worry about that...
He loves the wretched thing. The muffled rhythmical push and pull, the sound of the chain rolling back...ah the nostalgic sound of Sunday afternoons gone by (he's only 50)!.
Trouble is, he revealed to me recently that he's worried I'm going to somehow get tangled up in the wire, sever at least one limb and fall senseless onto the (at least neatly cut) grass
! Perhaps I should be flattered at his concern?!
Ah well, guess I'm gonna have to fork out myself. Can't wait for Autumn sales at Homebase!!
