Tea?

[classic33]

Good morning Tealandia
Bob et al say hello

Owdo
From down here to et al an'all...

I do have almost 40 years of mowing experience....
The idea was to stone the whole back since we moved in but Mrs M decided the kids need something to play on.
I'll mow weekly to get the grass back looking trim.

I'm more a tea person again...
two coffees in almost 3 months....garden centre ones.
Got a taste for orange juice...
More shocking is, one bottle of cider in who knows how long.....weeks? months?
The other day was national beer day too

And you want to replace that forty years with a robot...
It'd have been harder to get grass growing if you'd stoned it. Unless you didn't want it growing, or unable to cut it.
The kids might have enjoyed it being stoned. Throwing them around, making a noise with them. Think of the fun they could have had.

You wouldn't go down the caffeine free road for yer coffee?
Not even a McD's coffee in that time, that's a wee change in so shorta time.
Used to drink apple juice, stopped when I got told it were bad for me. Many moons ago.
If you're not consuming yer cider, who is? Can't be the two youngest sneaking a quick drink whilst there's no-one watching, could it!!
Missed that one, next time maybe...

Good morning all
Crisp out...

It did get kinda boring and as machinery got more easy to use,
mind you those orange ones used nowadays were heavy to use on any slopes or bankings.
Constantly adjustments, weight always wanted to go downwards...

Nah, the boss says grass until they get a bit older,
I'm about to head out and measure up one last wee bit to stone...

I miss coffee but hey ho, my choice..
I'm having orange stuff with bits...
Got a few cans of cider yet..
Nanny state up here just increased it to 62.5p a unit..
cross border raids more regular..
plus it's a day out..

might have a shandy later...
all monthly logging of everything done, everything in the cloud..
rest of the day is mines...

You can't eat them inside.
Decent one.

Fancy a crisp piece (our posh name for bread sandwich)..
Wonder what a cheesy puff one would be like..
Might clash with the butter though...

I better be getting on with the daily chores..
then I sit and play radio etc etc...
Sun streaming in through the window so time to move...

Used to see those orange hover mowers used on a rope, when cutting a slope, in the parks near me. Operator at the top, mower down the slope. Then they did away with the hover mowers, and falls became commonplace, so they stopped cutting.
You'd like the ones they use now, tractor mounted mowers, more at home on a field ten/twenty times the size of where they're being used. Operator is safe and warm in the cab.

And you don't argue with the boss over where the kids play.
Yer not done stoning! What's taking you so long.

Health behind you deciding to stop drinking it?
The bits are supposed to let you know it's good for you. Doesn't work for me, so it stays where it is.
Out of reach of the kids. You'll come home one day and there they'll be, in yer garden...
Nanny state down here is looking at introducing smaller "pints", for the same price.
You'd better hope you don't get stopped coming back. Duty payable would drive you to drink.
Get far on yer cross border raids, or just the same places. Leaving the natives in fear of you as you head northwards and home...

You've cider so you might have a shandy instead. Makes sense, yer get to keep yer cider a bit longer.
All "logged out", if that's a thing, then. Those clouds spring a leak later I'm blaming you. It's not long stopped here.
Don't let on, someone will find you summat to do...

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Morning all
More dry weather today?
Yesterday was what I call a good drying day...
Got Mrs M's approval for next garden job...
I pay for it, mind you...
As I have always said, what's mine is hers and what's hers is hers too....

Yep, the mow de Fly..
when they made the move (our lot) to the four stroke version, bad move, never seemed to work as well as the 2 stroke ones.
I meant the big Scag machines...

Took so long? Mrs M's whims...

Berwick is nearer...but usually have a couple of days in the Lakes included..
normally have a Sep/Oct break but with me being all over the place, missed this year.
I refuse to pay the extra so called duty..
It affects my cider and beer.

I had water instead..
I'll have a treat later..

T'weren't here. Threatening to rain for most of it. You got wet, you stayed wet.
Dry here, for now.
Oooh, new garden seating, paddling pool, BBQ?
It's your project, who else pays?
And she agrees with your wise words...

They were the first hover mowers seen round these parts, and amongst the first rotary ones. Cylinder ones were used in the majority of gardens, and if you were posh you had electric.
You mean the ones with a three foot blade. They were the ones that went over sideways on slopes.

Mrs M's whims. They go missing?

A couple of days in the lakes, in September/October! You obviously try to save money by avoiding peak season.
Well, I hope you've got all yer parts in one place now and yer feeling better.
Imparts an odd taste to it somehow, don't know how or why but just doesn't taste the same.

Corporation pop.
Orange juice, with no bits?

We have a kiddie picnic bench thing...
BBQ, could be an idea....
I saw a full bag of stones on the website of the supplier we bought the last bag from, 15 quids cheaper and free delivery, same stones so delivery Mon.
All emails received so legit.

Mo de Fly..
Our store person was selling them for £100, our employers were buying them from the preferred supplier at £160...DUH.
All legit and upfront, machines were legit with no dodginess going on.
He bought them at 80....

I headed out to trim the grass but it was still a bit dewy, it'll wait.
Wee table got a coat of preservative, boy that stuff mings....

OJ? I prefer it with bits..

The Lakes, we used to head down during Mrs M's nursery holidays in Oct...

Yer gettin ahead of me...
Heavens 'll open the minute you slap the first piece of meat on it.
Pull up the ones you bought, bag and return for another at the lower price.
Normally find it cheaper when you've paid for it though. Could be anything really.

Yours a Mo de Fly?
Sounds about right. And similar to what the local council parks manager did. Still expected them to be serviced, for free, at the place he decided not to buy through.

You were warned it'd rain if you tried doing anything.
Theory being a bit like medicine. If it smells bad, it must be doing something good.

No bits, or as few as possible.

No nursery holidays now though.

Think it'll be next spring before the kids bench thing will be built..

Nah, push mower.....
we had our own mechanics (well, ahem)..

We have to take school holidays now..
It's like a nursery here at times,
just as well Mrs M has plenty experience
plus looking after this big boiled sprat
Think I'll avoid the radio during the night.....

Couldn't be a winter project for you, starting 'someday'. That you could then unveil, in all it's finished glory when the decent weather arrives.

Entirely mechanical! Qualcast Punch type mower?
So did this lot. They found the repairs were costing more than the machines were worth, so they gave the contract to the company that supplied them with the mowers.
Sounds like your mechanics were similar...

School holidays come round often enough don't they. Presume all school holidays are taken at the same time so far.
You have had all the background checks done on you. Your kitchen safety record, the radio checks, the, the....
How's she managed these last few years, without screaming out loud.
Big kids are always worse...
Avoid, why?
