Okay, so it’s not a fantastic photo in the scheme of things, but look at me lawn! What with Hubby being away I had to take up the manly baton and try to start the evil-stinking-growling-lawnmower thingy all on my own. Fifteen pulls, a light smattering of petrol and a dislocated arm later and I was away. Our lawns are really weird as our driveway kind of meanders through them so they’re all a weird shape, and some of the back grass is quite steep too, but I persevered and looky here – cricket stripes baby!! Oh and in case Hubby’s reading, yes, I did ALL the grass. Heh.
Oh and look at my trees – they’re budding and everything. Alan Titchmarsh, moi.
Thrifty: Nope, EMs definitely a ‘Titch’marsh! LOL!!
Funny thing was I gave it a little dainty pull first of all and it didn’t even move. I thought I might not even get the f*cker started, but no – several torn ligaments later and it sprang into life!! Rock ‘ard, me.
J: Next thing you know it’ll be tea and croquet what? Oh and very funny.
You wanna come do mine? The grass here is about six inches high in places – that’s where there IS grass after fen winter with two large dogs tearing it up. The dandelions are doing very well, though, thanks for asking!
LOL!
Jay: Yes, I know what you mean. Half the reason for the trip was those blessed dandelions! x
Our lawn is so tiny here that the husband bought one of those old fashioned push mowers and does it in 10 minutes.
Moon: Oh shut yer face.
Having wrestled the Lawnmower myself (and lost!) I can appreciate the Godlike muscular gung-ho required to get the bugger started.
You’re just a poopy head poop.
Hubs: I’m going ‘au naturel’ until you come back my loverrrr, so the lawn’s looking considerably neater at the moment xxxxxx
73: Ooh ta. I SO hope you’re talking about your lawn and not your bikini line though. And no, I’m not offering. My shoulder wrecks!!
Google ‘Brazilia’ and see what EMs getting you for your burfday!
Wayhey Granny!!
I don’t have to mow lawns anymore, beauty of a 3rd floor top apartment !
Stick to your cooking luv, what girls are good at !
WTF!?
Where do I start?
The mysogonist content? The spelling? The grammar?
The fact that I’ll kick your motherlovin’ ass on your next foray into Ireland? Grow eyes in the back of your head BOY!
P.S. My gynae can confirm that I am indeed female and I couldn’t cook to cure cancer. Ha! You are a poopy head poop who is WRONG!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
J: Down girl. He’s just a poopy head poop.
taking sides already Hubby… i’ll have you know I have been pumping iron Arnie style over the last few months …
Moon: Pumping iron won’t save you mate. Give in gracefully and admit it’s effing hard work getting your stripes that straight (and I’m talking lawn here people).
looking forward to it as well, should be a good few beers, and your kids can make sure you get home safe …
Seriously, we all know who would win …..
