Martin, who's here to cut the grass, says he heard some rain at 7.30 a.m. yesterday, but I wouldn't know about that. I shut the window because of the noise and fumes from his Brand New Petrol Mower, which he insisted on bringing because he scorns my Brand New Rechargeable Battery Mower. However BNPM appears to be struggling. I don't think he realises I can see him from my desk, and I'm timing it to see how long he spends tinkering with the engine (pausing for occasional smoking breaks) before he concedes defeat and asks if BNRBM might be available. I'm going to try very hard to keep a straight face.
