And today's main physical activity was...

It took several hours, starting with the weedy meadow area. Hard work both for me and the machine, using no collector and the mower on the highest setting. 
Then I cut the big lawn again. A few days back I'd mowed it from meadow to long untidy grass, now I was shortening the grass and collecting the cuttings. The meadow becomes a lawn...
Between these two sessions I sat around with a big jug of water and a hard-to-put-down book. Summer has definitely returned but thankfully a little cooler than earlier.  Before the work we had a leisurely breakfast outside. After work was shower, G&T, and a delicious dinner with good sausages and lots of veg from the garden (thanks Jan!)
