When strimmers go bang, you had better make sure your head does not get in the way. I was doing some gardening for my old dear after dropping off her weekly “Covid shop” and was edging the lawn when there was an almighty pop. The spinning head of the strimmer disintegrated, sending one part of it flying 30ft across to the other side of the road, with more debris landing on the 1st floor roof of my mum’s place. I was not wearing goggles. I consider myself fortunate to be unscathed and shall drink numerous beers to celebrate.

I consider myself fortunate to be unscathed and shall drink numerous beers to celebrate and buy some fucking goggles as soon as I sober up.

Or I will use shears instead and accidentally cut off two of my toes.

I don’t strim the edges of my own garden anymore and have left them and a few small patches of grass to grow for creepy crawlie reasons.

No mirrors are being looked at currently. Last haircut was September, thinking of a DIY No. 4

I bumped into my barber (in a socially distant manner) this afternoon. He looked like he had been dragged through a hedge backwards.

I told my daughter I was going to shave all my hair off. The look of horror on her face was priceless.
