    The last coat of paint has gone on the lawnmower. I failed to keep the paint off my hands this time, so I’m now sprorting yellow spots. We should have a couple of mostly dry days coming up so I’ll be able to get out and cut the grass and see how much difference to new sharp blades make.

        My last lawnmower was basically a glorifies whipper snipper and had a plastic ‘blade’. Having to worry about things like sharpening a blade is a new thing for me.

        I don’t really want the lawnmower to go too fast, I generally keep the speed control closer to tortoise than hare, so red could have been a problem. The yellow is all underneath so is mostly invisible anyway & I’m pretty sure the red thing only works if you can see it.
