Mike's musings

Advantages, disadvantages

Having a large garden. Having two kids under 4. Working full-time. Training for ordination, then getting ordained. Being useless with machinery (so the strimmer and mower are always breaking down). Not all conducive to keeping the garden under control.

Disadvantages

I have to use the strimmer to clear the drive

I have to use the strimmer to clear the driver's side doorways to Moo's car

I have to use the strimmer to clear the passenger's side doorways to my car

I have to use the strimmer to mow the lawn (not just because the mower's dodgy, but because the lawn's so overgrown)

strimming the lawn leads to rather more sets of undiscovered dog poo than I'd expected

strimming the lawn leads to more dog poo being spread round than I'd expected

I get rather more scratches and nettle stings than I'd expect

Advantages

a really bumper blackberry crop this year
