The purpose of this Web Journal is changing! David and I have joined forces and you will get a weekly "ponder" from David (possibly more than one, but no longer daily) and a weekly word game. You may wish to comment on David's "ponder" and we would be only too pleased to read your comments.
If you enjoy word games, do visit:
For the more adult amongst us: Weekly Crosswords
or, for students: A selection of crosswords
Otherwise, it is business as usual!
Availed myself of the use of a strimmer and a fly-mow (fly-mo?) in the week as garden of new house looks like a hay-field at the moment.
Sons and I hooked up strimmer and off we went. Well, we didn't actually, as it would only strim about three inches at a time before breaking off. We now have a shorn patch on the edge of the back piece of lawn. I approached fly-mow warily, wondering if it could cope with remaining hay. Hooked it up, discovered I had put the handle on the wrong way so unhooked it and turned handle round, hooked it up again - pressed lever - nothing. Found orange button which obviously meant something and pressed it, still nothing. Pressed lever and button at same time. Silence. Found a very small orange button so pressed that with left big toe whilst pressing lever and larger orange button - no reaction whatsoever. Now it had been tested out the day before so...WHY? Did it look at hay and decide it wasn't for it? Was it sulking because strimmer was hooked up before it? HELP!!!
Tomorrow shall purchase newer and stronger string for strimmer and approach fly-mow stealthily from behind. In the meantime, I suppose a hay-field is really quite attractive. Perhaps I should purchase a baler to complete the look!
