What's The Hurry?

[poliphilo]

Julia and Matthew undertook to look after our garden tools and potted plants over the period of the move; yesterday they drove down with them. I was particularly glad to see my mower. It's a push mower- and I've resisted every temptation to upgrade because for some reason or bundle of reasons I can't fully explain- even to myself- I don't like using powered tools in a garden. I made a start on the lawn and it's very thick and matted and I got about an eighth of it done. But what's the hurry? I've nothing much else to do, no deadlines to meet, no-one breathing down my neck. If the job takes me a week so what?
