        Nobody nattering at me. And, even if they were, I can't hear them. If cutting the back, a zillion dragonflies clouding around me snatching up all the smaller insects I've evicted from their homes. If cutting the front, a dozen swallows zooming around snatching up all the insects of whatever size I've evicted from their homes. Randomly, a flock of butterflies come to say Hello.

          I never seem to find the time, what with work, taking care of a four-year-old, and 2 acres of grass to cut. ;P

            I had to do it yesterday, and compared to my old hobbies (as in I don't do them any more) I really can't see the point. All you end up with is a large number of bin bags full of short green cr@p you can't eat, drink, smoke, wear or even put in the composter as it's the "wrong type of material" and temporarily slightly shorter green stuff, whjich will be back to normal by the end of the week. And a trip to the tip in a car that smells of rapidly fermenting vegetables. At least with my ex-hobbies of excessive drinking, excessive consumption of illegal narcotics, and riding excessively large motorcycles at excessive speeds on public roads you got something concrete out it: Considerably poorer, a bad headache and a big grin. How the elephanting heck can people actually enjoy this?:confused:

            When I got sick last year I relented and agreed to the Mrs calling in a mower man. For $50 he mowed the 300sq meters of lawn, did all the edges far better than I ever had, cleaned up with his leaf blower and took all the clippings with him. We had him back every week during summer. Life is just too short

              You like the exercise uh? Well, I have 1.2 acres of which I have about 3/4 of it cleared, how about you come cut my yard, you'll get plenty of exercise. BTW - I live on a hill and my yard is filled with all kinds of holes, rocks and Raptor bones; at least that's what they look like to me, or maybe that's just the heat stroke talking. And thanks for volunteering like this, I mean, I would have paid you, but since you enjoy the exercise I'm sure you'll gladly do this out of the kindness of heart, after all, if you worked out at a gym that'd cost YOU money and I'm going to let you do this for free! I know, no need to thank me. I'll let the little yellow ninjas of flying death know you'll be playing "tag" with them; They so enjoy a good game of tag. Bring your running shoes, they've up their game this year and now employ GPS to help track their target. ;P
