Well, I got the dog walk in before the rain started but it looks like it will be a long wet drive to Christmas lunch this year.
I wish everyone in the DT a happy and safe Christmas day.
Remember drive to the conditions if out on the roads, check your gas BBQ connections for leaks before lighting it, and don't use gas or charcoal BBQs in an enclosed space. Plus remember knives are sharp and to keep your fingers out of the way when chopping vegetables or carving the turkey. (does it show that I work in Emergency Services? π€£)
I got the lawns done (and the neighbours nature strips) trimmed just before it started raining. They are going to come back nice and thick this time for next week.
The grass is definitely growing strongly at the moment. The neighbour's gardener (who normally does my nature strip as well) would probably have been coming today if it was not Christmas. Not sure when he will be coming next, but I have been gifted my parent's battery powered mower that they no longer use, so it is still long on Friday I will be able to give it a cut then. Weather and work will stop any chance of doing it sooner.
