Coronavirus - Keeping it light :-)

[Julie.]

......
Just a tiny foot-note...thanks to all you contributors on here, it has made life in lockdown so much better for me, and I bet it has done the same for many more...

Yeah, it's a helpful group:

I'll just take my clothes off and do a selphie.

In my case it would be more like weakly nudes!

Should have done this earlier, for those interested in seeing the space station, register on this site and get automatic notifications: International Space Station - https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/

Can't ask in the Arms, so I will ask on here, do any of you have a cordless lawnmower, opinions on make and model please, only a small patch of grass about 150m2 at the front of our place on the other side of the Road that we like to keep tidy, need to carry/bump it down steps to the place of use, recommendations please.

I have made my recommendations to the OH, who does the gardening, but as usual it has fallen on deaf ears, my option says a powered drive model and walk it up the driveway and then down the lane to the grass, but then like most husbands until someone else says so we are ignored.

here you go. but it won't pour your beer for you. you need to do that yourself.

What a brilliant invention, combined robo-gardiner and robo-barman!

Re my previous posts about the AVO meter, I spent a while cleaning it, especially the battery connectors, then installed the new batteries...sadly, it doesn't work. Whenever I select any "on" position the needle goes FSD. Oh well, it still looks nice on my display shelf...but if anyone has any suggestions to fix it, I'd be very happy to hear them!

I’ve just seen this Mike. We have a similar sized bit of grass at the new house and plumped for this Worx model mainly because I had a lot of Nectar points to spend but also because it got a Best Buy from the BBC gardening magazine/website.

I’ve only used it a couple of times but I can say it’s very light, cuts pretty well and the batteries last long enough to do the grass in one go if you’re not cutting through a thick thatch. There’s not enough juice to mow the lawn then use the strimmer, but bigger batteries are available.

Thanks for the response, looks good, but now days I don't buy anything electric power that's not brushless, so not the top of my list, but still appreciated for the heads up.

 

[OnlQQker]

Says it all today!

May just dissuade someone from moving to a cupboard drawer, which is where most end up.

As I was going to St Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
“Hello Boris” I said.

 

[Mike Johnson]

I am sure his name was Henry.

In conversation I am normally asked how many wives I'v had, my normal response is "Do you mean of my own"
