16 May 07 Mowing The Grass

They came today. To cut the grass. It’s quite brown in patches as we’ve not had that much rain here lately. I’ve always thought it would be nice if it rained at night, when I’m asleep, and was sunny every day. Of course, that would not please the night workers would it?

When the guy does the mowing, he sits on a tractor and goes back and forth for what seems like forever, but it’s really only a few minutes.

I’m not complaining though, as we’d soon notice if he didn’t turn up!

The ducks on the lake are quiet today. It’s funny that. Sometimes they’re making so much noise out there, it sounds like they’re having an orgy. Perhaps they are. I am often threatening them with an orange up the butt, and a place in my oven, but I wouldn’t do that really, even though I do enjoy roast duck.

Now, talking about roast duck has gotten me thinking about lunch. It’s only 11.30 but I think I’ll have an early one today.
