A set of jump leads walk into a bar.
The bartender says, 'I'll serve you, but don't start anything.'

The strimmer line broke the last time I used it so as there was only a small amount left in the spool I fitted a new 6 meter length.

Cut the wide piece down to the junction, there is a narrow strip all along the west wall that I have to do with the strimmer but it’s not very handy with all the cars and what have you passing so I don’t do it very often.

There wasn't a lot of tool cleaning to be done tonight, it was more about putting away the mowers, petrol cans and grass sheets all of which had to be folded up ready for next time.
See to the bins.

It was green bin day but as there was only a couple of cereal boxes in one of the bins I didn't bother dragging it down for picking up. (Note 1).
NOTES
1) As some of you who read my blog regular I make a point of not watching any news broadcasts mainly because I just want to throw a boot through the TV before the program gets half way through. However there are times when I need to see the weather and so I end up seeing some of the news too. Well today it seems that the refuge collectors (bin men for those who still speak English) are having to take a pay cut of £3 pound an hour. Well they are obviously upset about this and I’m not saying whether its right or wrong or anything else but what surprises me is that they didn’t know something like this was going to happen when they brought in the green bins. Before that the bin men would be busy every week emptying the black bins, now though they come round here every other week and there is nothing to do. For instance last week I put out 6 black bins for collection from the hall and pumpend, this week I haven’t had to put out one green bin so they will come riding in tomorrow and turn round and ride straight back out again so why would you expect to get paid the same when you’re doing less work. I think they want to watch out or there might be a few more surprises for them too.
2) Tonight I will show you a plant from our garden at home. As you will see its a Begonia, I particularly like the colour of the flowers which are small so are therefore not over powering. COMMENTS FROM THE POTTING
Jeanette I will look forward to seeing your Fuchsia’s. That’s a long time to be friends and no mistake.
Sara I’m glad the little joke hit the spot.
Peter you’re right, I do like to visit Merle and Jeanette, I have popped in and had a look at your pictures in the past too.

What an exhausting day - how many hours per week would you say you spend mowing on average in the summer months?
The colour of that begonia is exquisite.
I understand about the newscasts. I've refused to watch the news for years for the same reason. I can't see why people are in the habit of watching in the evening before bed; it makes my blood boil over and the last thing I feel is relaxed and ready for sleep! It's not just the "news" itself that is upsetting, it is what they chose to report and how they chose to report it. L.
