oldbloke's mutterings

Could have gone to the bowling green, but the close cut sward would have mocked me, so I mowed our lawns instead. Gave a frog a fright while doing the back; nice to see it. Surprising how much sweat you can work up mowing two fairly small lawns - though I did rake them too, and reseeded part of the back one.
Also today I've been to the tip and the post office, and done a Proper vacuum of downstairs (ie including the fireplace, furniture, cornices, etc) and the stairs. Off to do the lower stairs in a mo.
