Lawnmoaner!

Had a call from a tenant at a house I keep an occasional eye on for someone.....

Fred, "we got the lawn mower out, but something has happened!"

I said "you've cut through the cable haven't you?", "er, yes" came the answer. Luckily nobody hurt and a straightforward repair.

What with this Stay at Home business I bet there are hundreds of electric mowers in the same condition with sticky tape around the joins.-----

All I had was an electrical junction box that will have to do for the moment.

Smegly settling down to watch the Red Dwarf special, and got a call that some of the electrics have been tripped, obviously by this afternoons fizz, they have agreed to wait until morning.

Every summer, the stream at the bottom of out garden dries up, and I use an electric strimmer to keep the weeds down until the water returns.

Every summer, despite my best endeavours, I ALWAYS cut through the strimmer cord at least once (it's starting to get quite short!).

Last summer, I was determined not cut the lead, but as usual, went through it once again and as usual, it tripped the house electrics. Not happy with myself, I stomped off back to the house to reset the electrics, then back down to the dried stream bed to begin the usual ritual of repairing the lead (something I was getting quite used to by now ).

Spotted my error yet? Yup, that's right. I'd re-set the electrics, then started to repair the lead that was still plugged in. OUCH!

I suppose I really ought to get a petrol strimmer, but hey, this summer will be different, right?
