    My main issue right now is Im playing catch up after xmas and new years. Im ok with the scheduling for the most part. The one in that vid was just a slash job, on call kind of thing. I can drop her so if shes not keen on a schedule, see ya!
    I admit I have a few that should be done weekly but they are $150 lawns. They kept me going through the drought so I shouldnt complain now!
    Just wish these showers would pizz off!

    Have 3 large jobs today, 2 of which need to be dry. The other has like 2km worth of trimming. In the rain, that sucks!
    This is one of them. Three words... Wet ant nests! Another issue is the 150m long, nice white concrete driveway that I have to drive down! Mud, wheel marks etc isnt a good look. http://youtu.be/t5vnKjD4o1M?list=UUY...HkqgRFLbcdGSgQ

    Looks like possible showers for the next week!

    Im sitting here clicking on Calendar....Weatherzone......Calendar......Weather ... repeat.... scratching my head, how am I going to sort this mess? A couple are a week late already, all need to be dry, a couple high profile, a couple commercial.

    Finally uploaded! Heres the job where the customer said ok to go weekly. This is a bit over 2 weeks growth! Pretty happy with this one... http://youtu.be/_kv8T9xPmFo?list=UUY...HkqgRFLbcdGSgQ

    Ended up doing 2 and a bit today! I'll have a vid of one of them up at some stage. You'll see why I was umming and arring about it this morning! Was a bit of a nightmare today really but made pretty good coin, so not a total loss!

    Pretty cruisey Sunday. Did me own lawns this morning then went and picked all the cherry tomatoes that were ripe. Ended up with nearly 5 kg. Time to make some tomato chutney

    Was going to fire up the smoker to do some turkey drumsticks for tea and had the idea why not do some of the tomatoes and onions in that first to give them a smokey flavour. So did half that way and half the normal way.
    Got them all going now and sterilising the bottles.

    Got the drumsticks in and just cracked me second coldie. Weathers fined up after the rain.........
    Ahhhhhhhh
