Skimmer and lotteries are a tax on the poor as some woman once said.

Just finished the electrics for the 'dog house'.

If I'd known the Cwop had stopped doing the nice egg, spinach and tomato sandwich I'd have taken a packed lunch to work.

Never thought getting a new, lightweight, cordless (and pricey) strimmer would change my life as much as it has.

I have dallied with the idea of going down the cordless route. Only problem is, I always seem to do ‘garden things’ on the spur of the moment. This would necessitate me always remembering to put stuff on charge straight after I’ve used them. And I have a memory like a sieve. Even then, I have a cordless drill and even if I put it on charge it seems to lose its charge quite badly if not used for a few months.

I broke my pressure washer doing the missus’ car during the week. I don’t think they do cordless pressure washers though.

My strimmer only takes 45mins to charge fully so I stick it on while I'm dealing with the brambles and other shite that encroaches from next door.

My strimmer is cordless and I don't need to wait around for it to charge. All I do is add fuel...

Have you thought of using paraquat or maybe some organo phosphates? Just spray grass and leave, no messy clippings. If you then bought some cheap b&q shed paint you could spray the brown grass green.

Nah. Think I'll probably concrete over the lot and then paint that green. Then I could sell the strimmer and the grass shears (which get more use than the strimmer) and use the money to buy an old wreck of a car to put out there.

In other news, the last of the tomato mountain was consumed yesterday. Might not plant quite so many next year.

I'm down to my last pound or two but to be honest they haven't done as well as usual they were very late this year.

There used to be a Council street sweeper truck that came around and sprayed the kerbside weeds. Cutbacks mean they don’t come any more.
