2024 - 4 Months of doing something different

When my better half knew that his days were numbered, he insisted that we bought a new lawn mower so that I could mow the lawn! It was supposed to be easy to start and self propelled so I didn't have to push it. I didn't find it at all easy to use. He also made me cut the hedge, under supervision. I immediately cut through the cable!!. After he went, I found a gardener. I preferred to pay, than struggle.

That's the second option but you know how tight I am.    I've already gone through the initiation ceremony of cutting the hedge cutter cable and that was only when I was picking the trimmer up to pass it up to P. I wasn't popular.  I doubt I'll be interested in hedge cutting, or in fact trusted to do so.
