The dilemma of the strimmer has been solved; Lea and Vicky are going to buy the one we have at home, so this morning we were able to buy a new one with clear consciences. We really do need one now, especially to cut paths through the meadows; all the grass and other plants have gone to seed, walking through them is an absolute nightmare, the seeds worm their way into shoes and socks and are really uncomfortable– there’s one particular grass seed, about 2” long that seems to be barbed, I always seem to have a couple in the toes of my shoes and it’s nigh on impossible to remove them - we spend a lot of time with our shoes and socks off trying to get the seeds out.
I bought some more vegetable and herb seeds today – chives, parsley, coriander, carrots and lettuce; I spent the morning sowing seeds and watering. Brett spent the morning digging (still the access path around the house).
After lunch we put the strimmer together; the instructions were in English (translated from Japanese, why can’t they get someone who speaks English to write the instructions?). It works well; though it’s not as comfortable to use as the one at home, hopefully it’s just a matter of getting used to it.
