Tea?

Snow kidding
No great thaw in the sunshine so it'll stay for a few days..

We used backpack blowers at work and they were amazing especially after years of wielding a Trigger brush/rake on the my then local cycle path, we could 'blow' clean the tarmac surface at normal walking pace..
if we cut the 2.5 mile section, it'd take a week to brush it, 45 mins walk and clean..
and as for blowing leaves, as someone who spent many a braindead day brushing and raking,
I'm debating a wee petrol mower for my postage stamp..

Snow joke
You have to go out, sometime!
Suppose your "supplies" run low.

Who's walking pace did you use.

I have about 200-250m2 in lawn with a lot of leaf shedding shrubs around the edges of the back half of that. Both lawns are more moss than grass so some moss killing and removal are required as well as the leaf removal.

The leaf blower/vac arrived today and I have a small cordless lawnmower and a small corded lawn raker on the way. Gone are the days when I would just use a manual rake and brush & shovel. It's about 20-25 years since I last raked moss and thatch from a postage stamp sized lawn but I still remember the arm/shoulder/back ache!

I'll have maybe half that..
I just want to cut once per week, the front patch although much smaller is getting the stone treatment, a couple of big bags of chips (once the Boss decides which ones), still work to be done at side of building before I size it all up..

Supplies are okay...

Depended on what time of day, longer if we had time before breaks,
we had a thrice yearly (or was it twice?) cut but we did it every month but there was a fortnightly walk to keep it tidy.
Miss that old bit of track, soon, soon, hopefully soon

So far!
Wait whilst you get near them.

You'll be headed back to give it one last clean?

So close as well. Tonight, maybe!

You'll have to "take that", you'll not be getting anything else for a while.

Get out there, what are you, man or mouse?
