Lawnmower
About 10 years ago I decided to buy one of the old fashioned manual lawnmowers that you push. My thinking was this would be a good way to exercise and get fit.
For all those years I have struggled, sworn and sweated pushing it up then down then sit on the bench for a rest.
Last week I gave up and went to B&Q to buy a super duper electric one. What a fool I have been this does all the work and I just walk behind it. To hell with the exercise.

Louis,
I have a ride on mower.
I can have a beer while riding around.
No danger of being arrested for drunk driving either!

Re: Lawnmower
We have 2 Mowers here one for me at the Front Grass and one for Irene at the back Grass
sure get enough exercise out of that ,especially Irene as the back is hilly! LOL
Had one of those Flymo at one stage many Years ago,but found it sort of ran riot when on the downslopes! And the cord kept on getting in the way! Eeeeeek!
