Lawnmower man: Actifit April 30th 2026

Well, our dry spell is coming to an end today, so it’s lawnmower time at the home place.

First up, the front…

The big, heavy old petrol push mower does have a ‘self propelled’ function, which I’ve never used, though I know it burns a lot of fuel. If I engaged it, the front alone would have used a full tank, so I choose to burn calories with my internal engine instead.

Next for a trim was the side…

Of course, as soon as you feel like you have a handle on one aspect of things, you notice more work to be done; that metal gate in the background is showing quite a lot of rust, so that’ll need sanding and painting soon. Not happening today though!

Onwards, to the back!

And the soon to be vegetable garden, where I mowed a roughly 12’ by 18’ (4m x 6m) patch and a path to get there. This was heavy going, and I even thought about engaging the propelled function on the mower, but stuck with the ‘this makes a good workout’ approach.

All the grass cuttings from the back went onto the veg patch to-be; hopefully it’ll suppress the growth of grass and weeds for a week or 2 until I can get the beds made and some plants in the ground.

Overall, I think my Fluffy overlord is satisfied with my mornings work. Or at least she’s happy that it’s time for some cuddles 😃🐈
