When I'm done with idling and finishing my coffee I'm going to mow lawns. My grass and my neighbours grass, 6,000M2 in total.
I fitted €60 of cutters to the mower last month and asked my currently mower less bohemian neighbour to take a walk around to check for stones on his lawn.
Last year I cut his lawns while he was up north, took several scallops out of the cutters, I was livid.
The day is either going to get better or get worse, it's all down to my neighbour.

I'll answer my own post, the day got much worse.
After it became obvious that walking his lawns to check for stones had slipped him by I told my neighbour I would get back to him when he was less busy and had done what I asked of him.
With time to kill I brought my shop early by a day and asked another hapless (car being repaired) fool if he wanted to join me for grocery shopping.
Yes he did but could we stop at the Brico for some vinyl glue and bits of ironmongery.
After the Brico we arrived at Lidl. Oh no says my friend. I did not see that he had brought his 1L tub of whatever water soluble possibly latex based glue into the cabin rather than the dirty plastic crate in the boot.
I looked down into the passenger footwell at a small pond of cream coloured gloop.
He is still alive and has all of his limbs but he sorely taxed me today.
Ladies and gentlemen when you purchase noxious, dangerous, smelly, sticky, ruinous products ALWAYS check the lid, top, whatever before putting such in your vehicle or someone else's vehicle.

26° here but I didn't notice it after 12:10, that's when I became angry.

I have not seen peppers for weeks if not months now. I assumed there was a supply problem somewhere. There are a few tomatoes. Our local coop is pretty much at the end of the chain and since it is not easy to go elsewhere they just do not bother.

You're not missing much, the ones I bought last week are red and contain some water, that was about it.

The last one I think.

Lost all upload speeds on BT today - causing my wife loads of issues. BT saying line is OK, so they have completely reset the hub, which means I've had to reset the wifi name back to the one we use and not the BT one. Still got crap speeds. They are phoning back later, and if no improvement, they will send a new hub.

Just stressing as the teens aren't happy nor is MrsF...

Internet outage mutinies are becoming more common, invest in a cutlass to keep order.

I have sorted my cranks out , I had one of the cotter pins round the wrong way.
I have also been doing some woodwork on our garden seat. It has been cold out there despite the sunshine .

Bonus! Did not have your work cut out for you after all.
