I love summer! Woke up at 8am on a Sunday to the sound of my next door neighbour strimming their lawn. Now 11.30 and shes still strimming and mowing. Must be going over the same spot multiple times as it takes me an hour max for the same sized garden. I don't know if people are just oblivious to the fact others want to lie in on a Sunday, or just blatantly don't care and start making noise as soon as its legally allowed.

Probably started early to miss the heat. Not sure why it'd take that long though.

Couple of years back one of our neighbours started mowing at half 4. He has not repeated that mistake.

Maybe her bush needed a LOT of trimming for summer.

There's a suspicious mound at the bottom of your garden....

Nah, that's where the ex is.

I think he got the hint when myself and 3 others turned up and asked him wtf he was playing at! There are only 20 houses here so he knew he'd pee'd off a fair percentage of his neighbours.

To be fair that is antisocial and I'm surprised they even considered it.

8am is absolutely fair though especially in the summer when it's light at 5am.

I would leave it until half past nine though. It only takes an hour.

He carries it and it weighs 50kg. And runs up and down a hill 20x

Nothing so dramatic, irregular Atrial Fibrillation.

That's your call. 8am is still totally fine but I guess on a Sunday 9am is ok. But it's late IMO.

Oh is that it? :eek:

On a blistering day like this, I can't blame them for mowing the lawn at 8am.

Had our evening meal here. Beats a restaurant in my opinion!
Been a beautiful 26ish degrees here.

A day kayaking, boarding and watching the sunset

Its 2230 and it's still shorts and tshirt weather. Amazing!

Got stung by a hornet on Saturday on my thumb. Didn’t think much of it. It swelled and then went down.

Went for a ~4.5hr hike yesterday and after 30 mins it started swelling again. My thumb is still huge now and it’s spread all over the back of the hand.

Very annoying.

Got stung by a bee on Saturday and now my face has swollen up like Star Trek extra. Waiting to be seen at the walk-in clinic.

Argh shes mowing again. Who mows two days in a row... I'd close the windows, but its already boiling in my room. I love summer.

I don't mind the mowing so much but we seem to have hit power wash season here.

All of my neighbours seem to love it and wash their cars, drives, houses, bins and anything else you can fire a power washer at all day long.

I think they have competition going to see who can power wash the most things but I've not been invited to join.

I just get to sit and listen to it from the window of my home office...all...[swear word]...day...long.

I was offered some sticky date pudding, which I refused thinking it was an asian dish. Turns out it isn't asian at all.
