Hot day and arrived at Mrs P house to cut the grass. Knocked and rang the bell - no answer. Rang her landline - no answer. Waited a few minutes and there she appeared from the road behind me. We went through the house to the back garden. Found the Flymo, but small challenge as the plugs on the side were not working so had to find a working plug in the house leading to the garden. Found one, but then could not find an extension lead so had to search for another plug that would allow the mower to reach the end of the grass section. Eventually found a working socket as seems that an electrician is coming around to sort some of the sockets in the house. I was Flying with the Flymo and discovered a frog....a concrete frog that was hidden in the long grass. As I had some time, I got rid of the weeds on the side of the grass and had a chat with Mrs P as she came and sat in the shade. She has been living in this house for 60 years and worked for Guinness for most of her life. She was super delighted to have someone cut her grass as her husband is no longer and her brother who usually comes to help her has not been around for months as looking after his wife who is poorly. Shifting blades, shifting smiles.
