I went to B&Q earlier today to buy a lawnmower – a bottom of the range job for our very small patch of green. I went after the same model as the previous one which lasted us 10 years before it literally exploded while I was cutting the grass last weekend. Miraculously, the new mower has cost more or less the same as it did a decade ago – how good is that! Just hope it lasts as long. And because I was so pleased at how economical the mower was, I treated myself to one of those leaf vacuum/blowers. Boy is it good – and powerful. After only two or three minutes use our patio and drive are as neat as they’ve ever been – all the leaves and dust blown into next door or sucked up safely in the bag. I feel like Percy the Park keeper. Go get one! Every home should have one.
Bald blogging bloke in Belfast boldly writes…
These are some of the things that please me. Or annoy me. Or just plain happen to me. A lot of it's going to be about music, sport, marketing and family things. There'll be the odd sarcastic rant as well - I hope. It'll probably be written quite fast and be frequently daft or confusing. Or both. Spelling/typing may be up the left too. So if that's not your cup of tea there's not much point in wading through it all. Not entirely sure how all the technical bits work but I'm going to give it a go. If I do something terribly off-blog, just let me know.
