Country Comfort

We have a gender based division of labour in our homestead; especially when it comes to garden maintenance. The very recent ‘La Nina’ Summer has meant that lawn mowers especially have been heavily and very regularly resourced. We now have four. Two are petrol-fuelled ‘sit-on’ mowers; one is an electric battery powered hand-mower and the ‘pits’ is a mildly geriatric hand powered petrol model. Guess which I’m allocated? We have a very large lawn. I’m not trusted with the ‘sit on’ varieties; not since I discovered by serendipitous trial and error they did not mow stones?

The ’Featured Image’ (see above) is not an accurate portrayal of our labour allocation at work. The reclining lady bears no resemblance to my very good-looking much younger spouse. The ‘gentleman-at-work’ is remarkably like my ex-brother-in-law; an ex-National Hunt Jockey in England? However, it could be me mowing the lawn!
