But honestly I don't think he was in any danger. Not only do we have circuit breakers, but aren't these machines grounded or something?<br /><br />YP: Yeah, we considered that, but the mower needs some additional maintenance (like sharpening) so we're just going to take it in.<br /><br />Briony: That IS some remarkable rubbish, even for our area!<br /><br />Vivian: I will let you know how it goes! Sorry you've been having so much trouble commenting. I hate that Google thing where you have to choose pictures.<br /><br />Ms Moon: I'm glad to hear the clattery wind chimes still exist! Apparently windowpane oysters -- which they used to make those chimes -- are declining in number from overfishing. :(<br /><br />37P: Isn't she great? If she weren't so big and I hadn't been going somewhere I might have kept her.<br /><br />Robin: Yeah, I'm so glad Dave is OK! (Needless to say.)<br /><br />Red: I've never seen so many people captivated by a pile of rubbish as the people stopping to admire that mermaid!<br /><br />Sharon: Actually it looks like we may need to take it in after all. They only make house calls for commercial mowers. Sigh.<br /><br />Catalyst: She'd take up so much room, though. She was not a small mermaid! I'd rather use the territory for more plants.<br /><br />Jenny-O: Do wind chimes ever go out of style? Maybe you need some! I always have a mental checklist of tasks that need doing, and I just work my way down. Sometimes I get several things done, sometimes only one.<br /><br />John: Ha! She's gone now, sadly. I could have mailed her to you!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-67658697693344822172019-06-25T22:09:34.882+01:002019-06-25T22:09:34.882+01:00I so want that mermaid....go back GO BACK !!!!!!!!...I so want that mermaid....go back GO BACK !!!!!!!!!John Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-3187119286761682422019-06-25T17:57:10.408+01:002019-06-25T17:57:10.408+01:00Wind chimes were really popular here in the eighti...Wind chimes were really popular here in the eighties and nineties and now I can't remember the last time I saw (or heard) any. That is a handsome set indeed. Birthday best wishes to Dave.<br /><br />I wish I had half your energy.

Life hasn't been the same since. I've never understood how anyone could keep from cutting the power cord on a lawn mower. Poor Dave! <br />I like the birthday present you got him. And they still have plenty of those clattery wind chimes. <br />Scotland? How marvelous! I can't wait to hear about it!

For the past week I've had to fill out a check list to prove I'm not a bot, including those grids where you ave to click on all the squares that have stairs, or buses, or traffic lights in them, and then I had to give my Goggle ID (which I don't think I have) so, no surprise, I have not passed. But today I got in!

I am very much looking forward to your report. <br /><br />Our electric mower has a bright orange cord, so it (as they say in Bull Durham) "announces itself with authority".
