2nd June 2008, South Ockendon, Thurrock Essex 13:44

Overcast, dull and miserable day with mist. The temperature is 14°C and the wind speeds are 9 mph WNW.

Almost perfect but a little hot in st.louis at the moment but I am told we had a pretty big storm that I just slept through.

Nara Japan 12:30 pm We have another warm day 28 c but the grass is still waterlogged from 2 nights ago and I think we have more rain to come tomorrow at least It's not cold

Raining




Again

Anold, you seem somewhat hung up on grass.
What gives?

Is it the mowing?


Fourth day of winter here and it's shorts and a light cotton shirt if you labour outdoors as I do. At least until late afternoon and then you realise it's winter about 4.30pm and it's time to put on something a bit warmer.

25c today and 12c minimum, same tomorrow, so work has been palmed off into the too hard basket,which is actually a euphemism for that phone call you do late in the morning when your Plumber/Electrician/Carpenter/Tiler/Etc, doesn't turn up.

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry but I'm stuck on another job and won't be able to get to yours till... umm... ...

I'll ring you! Bye."

I'm going fishing...




Tradesmen. We're all tarred with the same brush you know....

almost nobody in Japan has a lawn especially around here , that's why I couldn't find a good mower for 7 years . I like having it

Ah, well then that's different.
What's the name of the species of grass and what type of mower do you have?


These questions take on mystical quality's in OZ. We are the most urbanised race on the planet and most men's dreams(indeed woman's dreams as well) go no further than a Quarter acre block of dirt and a house and a front and back lawn to mow.
None of those English tenements and such here. Thank you very much!

If you were here Anold you'd have already posted the type of lawn and the brand of mower you hit it with...

It started out very dull with slately grey skies but by 10:30 the first signs of sunshine appeared and since then the clouds have become more scattered. The temperature is now 20° and the wind speeds are 6 mph WSW.

The grass is a big mixture of what seeds have landed here over the time I've lived here .

My mower is a Honda GCV 160E , it's got a 160cc four stroke engine with overhead cams made in Italy it also has powered wheels. if that helps

boy it's hot tonight I'm sweating now

Beautiful morning here the Suns about a quarter hour from popping up and the forecast is for 25c, no clouds and light sea breezes.
High tides in 3 hours time so I'd better head off to the beach pronto.




Nice mower Anold. So it's self propelled is it?
"Mixture of seeds"!
No, no, no Anold, not good enough I'm afraid() you need to be able to state with some authority the name and type of grass and if possible it's antecedent's etc, etc!

The weather in Missori whent from major storms in the early morining to really hot but otherwise fine

Nara Japan 4:45 pm A rainy day again today 24 c now I understand why the farmers( and me ) will be planting the rice this weekend cause all the fields are full to overflowing with water at the moment

Keith Even if I did buy some grass seeds and post on here what it said on the packet you couldn't read it cause it's all in a funny scribble

its now 9-10am, on thursday the 5th of june, in sunny bradford uk, 2008 jim

Lol@you Anold. Even Jims getting into the lawn thing.
Night time here about 8pm, it's very very mild for a winters night must be about 17 or 18 and I'm still in shorts and light shirt so I think it's maybe a different kinda 18 than a northern one. Although I am a little bit warmed up from a day in the sun so that might be a bit misleading.

No fish either but I did find what appears to be a bit of space 'Junk' so that's proving to be a bit of a conversation piece. Shiny stainless steel sphere with a bump on it with a thread in the bump all very
