    Mrs Sterling's relatives in Scotland telephoned to brag about the weather in Edinburgh. Here we only achieved 11,200 Wh >>> 2.96 Os.

    I often think the same then get scuppered by cloud rolling in off the Bristol Channel, so not saying a word!

    Have to try and finish cutting the lawn today though after yesterday's disastrous attempt. Couldn't start the petrol mower, no matter what I did, new fuel, cleaned plug, drill on flywheel - nothing. I've got a feeling i'm going to find mice have eaten the wiring when I unbolt all the covers :(

    Broke out the Bosch electric mower which has been unused for about 5 years - bit of oil on the end of the cylinder blade got the thing turning again, then proceeded to cut. All was well until I bent down to empty the grass box and put my back out! I haven't walked straight since. :mad:

    No Mansion, just a humble 2 bed bungalow ;)

    It was my Grandad's - a Suffolk Colt and it's 47 years old, so was continuing the tradition. I used to help cut the lawns at his house (which was a sprawling mansion :rotfl:) and when he passed I took the mower and have kept it running - until this year.

    I've just been out and checked the lawn, too wet following this mornings dew, but give it an hour - and I will also be getting an entirely solar powered cut :)
