It’s spring, and the man who mows our lawns isn’t allowed to come because to the restrictions. So, out with the hand mower, from a dusty corner of the shed. It needed a bit of lubricating oil and even so my initial efforts weren’t impressive but I adjusted the blade so as to give a closer cut. The result is OK but it’s not as good a job as the professional does with his machine.
So, it will be back to using the professional as soon as he’s allowed to come.
