A run in with the lawn mower
Good afternoon to all - apologies that this posting is a little late - a piece of advice never sweep grass out of the back of the lawn mower when its still running.
Thats what I did and quite frankly I am lucky to have my fingers.
It was wet and the grass kept clogging up the collecting bag so I was continuously emptying it out. Then I noticed loads stuck behind the wheels so went to clear it away - cue unbelievable pain and lots of blood - I was worried I had lost the top of my finger.
Thank goodness not - just a big cut and will definitely lose my nail! The finger is totally black and swollen - currently wrapped up so makes typing v difficult!
On that note jts painful so I will sign off - in future i am askign Dom to mow my lawns!

Sad, I know, least I don't stick my hand in lawn mowers when they're switched on.

This picture on my website will probably make you feel a bit better though. Did it in April and it's nearly straight again now.
