A working strimmer, at last

6 September 2017

Another one of our new electric purchases is the battery powered strimmer.  One morning I leapt out of bed at 7am and went to try it out before the sun was too high - and it ran out of cord.  So next time we were in Lefkas we obtained more, but another opportunity hadn't come along until this evening.

 This gives an idea of how the whole of our one-acre plot looked - very overgrown with long, dry grasses, interspersed with vicious thistles

 After half-an-hour, when both I and the battery were thoroughly discharged, we'd done a fair amount of the land.  Lots yet to do, but nice to see the trees and shrubs again (especially the ones that have survived so far).
