Woo Hoo! who would of guessed it! I have gone from having no working strimmers, to two working strimmers all at once, so maybe I have finally turned the corner of my run of mechanical bad luck. The only problem is, it isn't until after I had spent out my hard earned shekels on a brand new shiny one, that the old strimmer has decided to return to the world of the living. Would you believe after coming so close to being junked completely, it is now working better than I ever remember it doing so. I think the lesson to be learned by me here, is that if youdon't at first succeed try and try again! Anyway I am now lying on the floor typing this upside down, as my back is soooo bad after strimming most of my five acre field today........cup of tea, slice of cake then off to bed for me I think.......just hope I will be able to bend over in my studio tomorrow, as I have a new sculpture in development.
