Bought 4 blades for the ride-on mower. Rang Henk, a friend if he could give me a bit of help with putting the blades on. OK, he was coming the next day. Instead of mowing, pulled down the rest of the pergola. It is now completely gone. It looks so bare. Have now to get very soon a mini skip for the rubbish which is now laying around the place. Took all the tiles off from around the laundry tub and the grouting. Now new tiles can be put on. Had already a look around and found a nice tile.



Will measure all the areas which have to be tiled. The bathroom has to be done too. and can then buy what I need.

In the toilet have closed the holes in the wall. To close a big hole, you cut a piece of carton, bigger in length but about the same width, put a cord through the carton. Push this all through the hole and pull on it. Now you can fill in the hole, because you have a background.



When it is dry, you cut the cord and sandpaper it.

Yesterday, Henk came and put the blades on. At around lunchtime he left. Had lunch and wanted to mow, tryed to get the mower going but could not get it going. The battery was empty. Looked for the battery charger for one and half hour and could not find it. Knew I had one. Gave up. Later in the afternoon I was again in the big shed and found it. Henk came over again and showed how to put it on the charger.

In the morning I took the charger off and could get it going. Have been mowing all morning. In the front of the house the grass was knee deep, it is still fairly long because you cannot mow straight to the length you want it. The grass is still a bit wet on the bottom and not cutting properly.

Got my hand mower also back today and can now do the areas which you cannot do with a ride-on.

Have received this week again some siggies. I like them very much, they are lovely.

This one is from Grazia Moro, Italy.
