Our Cuckoo has arrived, and, there is a magnificent sunrise! 
MM… no cuckoo here yet… but yes, the sunrise has encouraged me to do a mammoth laundry today… fingers crossed…
It’s so nice, I think I will feel ‘honor bound’ to cut the grass before Madam gets back from work, She has the auditors in today, so She will need a ‘lift’
I think everyone will be letting loose with the mowers today… rain is forecast again for tomorrow, so we must grab the opportunity when we can…

Hoping it doesn’t rain tomorrow Stella, a friend has offered to mow my grass then as I am still ‘out of action’ 
Phew, halfway through one of our lots… (OH is strimming various bits elsewhere)… I’m shattered… found a black/blue lizard/salamander (whatever)… sadly already dead due to one of the local cats. So glad it was not me mowing… ugh.
Dreading our lawn - didn’t get a final cut last year as we didn’t get over in September and it was too wet when we visited in Oct, high chance of rain every day next week and a quater hectare of wet grass is no fun at all!
I had to get a fella in to do ours a couple of times after the hip op’, not so much ours, but the ‘outlaws’ which is a lot bigger, wasn’t expensive 25€ ish a go. 
Had 3 fire salamanders here Stella, yellow/black, lovely creatures, it would be easy to hurt them, given there habits 
The yellow/black are gorgeous, but they never come indoors… we have had the blue ones inside on occasions…I try to watch where I step as I wouldn’t even want to crush a snail (I chuck them over the wall into next door)…
My neighbour does know… he is charming, but fighting a war against moles… and my slugs and snails… 
Poor fella, his cup overfloweth
