    That's a simple but pretty cool ice mold.

    My first ever gardening job I landed was mowing the lawns outside of my fathers factory. I was 12 at the time and still mow the lawns at age 36.

    These strips of lawn are out front, nature strips either side of the main entrance. On one side, the grass continues along in front of the mechanic business next door. Right from the beginning, I simply mowed his part so that the lawn was neat running right through. This didn't bother me, it was only a small amount of lawn and probably added a minute or two extra to the whole job. So, I had been mowing this section of grass out of curtesy for about 23 years at no charge. The same person has owned and run this business for the whole time.



    I have always done this job on weekends so that I don't have to work around parked cars or weekday traffic. One Sunday, I was doing my usual when the owner pulled up to open his gate. I was walking behind the mower in his direction when he gestured for me to mow his grass. Well, that set me off!

    I could not believe that he had been so oblivious to the fact someone (me) had been mowing his grass for 23 years that he needed to point at me to mow his part of the lawn. Had he stopped me, thanked or acknowledged my efforts, then I would have been fine. But the entitled way he pointed at me without even attempting to speak with to me made me so mad.

    Considering he got free service for 23 years without a single acknowledgement, well that stopped immediately after this. And I can absolutely guarantee he would not have fixed someone's car for 23 years without charge. I now mow what I am paid for, leaving his side to grow out of control.







    It took several months, but I knew my point had been made when I spotted him mowing it himself.

    I'm not a petty man..............................much!
    100% agree i saw my nighbour on Sunday trying his best to mow the 6 plus inches of grass, and to my surprise HE can actually do it IF he can be bothered.

    I didn't know at first he was this lazy but i once went to movies with him and after it finished he left his drink and big pop corn to sit and i said "don't forget to bin it" his response "they pay people to pick it up"

    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    I rotated my tyres, moving the spare back into use, and the most worn back to spare. I didn't bother cleaning them, I'm hoping to go off roading next week.

    Hey, there was actually some passing this time. But yes, boring. I am finding the V8s more interesting this year. The new shape cars help, the Camaros look great, and the Mustangs look much more like a Mustang now.
