Day 53....and the grass looks beautiful....wee post.

Day 53....and the grass looks beautiful.

3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.

So, as the title suggests, I mowed the grass, front and back and raked all the leaves and it looks so much better. I also cut Justin, next doors back grass to return the favour of him doing mine last time. All in all a very satisfying (if tiring) experience.
Despite the fact we have a petrol mower at home, I haven't used one before. A wee bit scary but after putting some petrol into it and pumping the gas and then pulling the throttle......a few times.....we were off. I had to ask a lovely guy, who was cutting branches off his trees 2 doors down, if he knew how to get the grass basket off and after a couple of minutes of both of us going 'doh' we worked it out and I was able to empty and refill till the task was complete.
Good job it's done 'cause it's absolutely pouring down today. The bad news is that there are still an awful lot of leaves on the trees and the rake will need to come out again soon.
I never read the previous days blog so not sure whether or not I mentioned that I'd had a nice lie-in after my movie-marathon? Probably did. That's the problem with writing about the day before at the end of the day.....so much has happened today.
Apart from the grass cutting yesterday, there's actually not a lot to report. It was a rest-day from the Plank challenge that we're doing and a pretty restful day overall. We were both tucked up in bed pretty sharp to get rested to face this week. That makes it sound like there's something to face-lol. There's not. We just needed an early night.
Time has run away this evening again.......I'll tell you why tomorrow.
Just a wee one tonight...oh and if anyone s reading this who has my new phone number-my phone just died so you'll need to email me-ugh.
Lotsa love to all,
