Best Invention Ever!!

l bought a new piece of machinery during the week. And l can honestly say it's one of the best things I have ever bought!!!! DA NA!!!! A Push Mower!!! Now before everyone starts laughing and thinking l have gone mad...........trust me........l haven't!! Push Mowers have come a long way since your Grand Father laboured with one in his back yard 50 years ago! This weighs practically nothing. The faster you walk the quicker it mows! No heavy cumbersome 30 kilo mower to heave around the trees. This little number is not restricted by gears and can go as fast or as slow as you like!!
l bought it initially as often in the morning l wish l could do a quick 5 minute mow maybe out the front of the house, or a bit of the side , but by the time l have dragged the mower out of the shed, checked the fuel, primed it, started it, my 5 minutes is gone. The idea was to have this tucked under the veranda and have it ready on hand to do a quick little mow of a piece of lawn each day.
As it happens though, it's so fabulous l don't think l will bother with the big old petrol driven one again! l mowed the WHOLE lawn in about a third of the time it takes me to do it normally!!! And l wasn't puffed afterwards !!
l don't need a catcher as it throws the grass around with such gay abandon out the back (yes, you do tend to get a bit more covered in grass!!) that it isn't necessary to drag around a big heavy catcher that you have to keep stopping and emptying!! (Have l converted you yet??)
ALSO..............................it is so light (about 9 kilos), rather than ploughing through a slightly raised lump of lawn leaving an ugly exposed yellowy bit, it simply skips over it so it leaves a more even greener result!!
AND it's quiet!!!!!
Not that poor deaf Treeka could hear the old one.................
So l highly recommend them to anyone who is sick of mowing lawns! l am not going to say the old cliché about "oh it is good exercise" , as you do the same walking as you would with a traditional mower, this one is just quicker, lighter, easier and yep..............more fun!! Brilliant! Just love it!!
