Finally got the grass cut hurray

Today was the first time in about three weeks its not rained up here, so I decided I would cut the grass (so far so good)

I got all the equipment out of the hut and proceeded to try and cut the grass, Firstly the mower kept overheating and I kept having to stop every two minutes and replug in the plug and try it again. Anyway I managed to get the front cut and half of the back and then disaster, it threw the belt and started making a noise like a wounded animal.

So I went to see if hubby would fix it only to find he was asleep so ok I thought I will fix it myself, it can't be that hard) Unfortunately I hadn't counted on the fact that my dad fixed it last time and when he tightens things up they are really tight lol. It took me half an hour just to undo the nut at the bottom to take the blade off, after that I managed to fix it quite quickly. So feeling quite pleased with myself I started to cut the rest of the garden, all was well for about fifteen minutes and then it overheated again and refused to work.

As you can imagine by this point I was getting fairly brassed off to say the least. On top of all this my strimmer has broke in half, so I had to borrow one of a neighbour and it wasn't half as good as mine, it took five times longer to strim the edges. Anyway I went back to the mower because my back was killing with the strimming and managed to get it to work for another five minutes, back to the strimming again, then the strimmer decided to misbehave itself as well, the spool kept falling off every two minutes.

by this time I am starting to lose my temper big time, and I threaten them both with the bin if they don't work. The strimmer took notice, but it was wasted on the lawn mower who flatley refused to work at all.

Anyway I had more or less finished by this time and so I just strimmed the rest, So finally all the grass is cut, it took me five hours and it normally only takes two. Me thinks me is going to replace the garden equipment lol.

Anyway by for now
