Mower throttle control - part 1

Finished off another productive gardening day (nice day!) with trimming and mowing the backyard.

Nearly finished and then we had a mishap! mower throttle got caught up in a Money Plant branch - and snapped off (bugger)

The Victa Statesman mulching mower has served me well over the last 13 years with all the servicing done - by me. Interesting... I never noticed that the throttle has Rabbit and Tortoise symbols - LOL

Gardening Sep-Oct 2022 - Part 1

Time to catch up with gardening, weather has been pretty awful but now starting to feel more like spring so let's get out there.

Completely removing all the Jasmine along that section of fence between the back corner of the house down to the garage AKA workshop. Even with aggressive trimming over the years they are damaging not only the trellis but the fence itself.

Back home from shopping along with this picnic plate 

Microwave rescue - Part 2

Started working on putting together a turntable.

Found a plate that does fit in there but I suspect it needs to be bit smaller, I'll keep looking.

Collected this microwave from across the road during our annual waste collection.

Goodbye Pixie (2009 - 2022)

Yesterday was a very sad day for us, we had to say goodbye to Pixie our beautiful mini pin. She has been doing quite well coping with Cushing's disease. Sadly was also recently diagnosed with Diabetic Ketoacidosis. Her big companion left her last year but now they are together again - RIP's

The house is empty now, she is the last of our indoor pets.
