Lawnmowers.

Lawnmowers. A curious subject. We started off with a small electric hover mower - this made cutting the grass a chore because it just wouldn't hack it, particularly if the grass got anyway long. Which it sometimes does...

So we went with internal combustion. Don't tell the Greens. I've just done my first cut with the Homelite this evening, and all is well! It's fairly light, so it's easily pushable, and it's got 7 height settings as well as the grass collector (which is maybe a little small...). Initial impressions are good, it feels solid so far and well put together, but we'll see how that works out as time goes by. Also, it's red and shiny.

Anyone else who's looking to buy one, they're 160 in the diy stores at the moment, and you should factor in another 20 quid or so to buy some engine oil (10W30) and petrol and can.
