five things ...

One of the things which I like about football is that the guardian usually does a report on important games/weekends with a summary of things which have been learnt from the event(s). So, in honour of that, I present the five things which I've recently learnt

1. Our lawnmover can and will go wrong. First it was the blades, then the tires (which are just holding on - A new set of four is ~£200) and now the ignition switch has died. I'm hotwiring the mower until our local mechanic sources a replacement ignition
2. The weather at 4:30 is cold but suitable for working in the garden and getting up early means I get to have a midday nap like a true old man
3. Crap in the garden - I've reclaimed another part of the garden by dismantling the old veg patch and removing the surrounding fence, In the process collected 5 more industrial size bags of rubbish. This just get me down as we've been living here for 3.5 years and there is still rubbish buried from the previous owner!!
4. Being married for 8 years is great
5. Riding a tandem is fun
