Lawnmower Man needs a haircut.

We decided that while the weather was good we would tackle the garden ... it has been seriously neglected since I fell pregnant ... and Cream felt unable to tend to it .. to be fair he was tending to me a lot and has admitted that he wouldn't know the difference between the weeds and flowers.

So after almost a year of neglect we decided that the lawn would be the easiest thing to tackle and we took turns with the mower and in entertaining Zoo. Cream finished the main lawn and I suggested that the wild area near the shed needed sorting out. Cream clambered in ... whilst I shouted to him that perhaps it just needed a trim round the outside, he waded in with mower blaring. At one point I lost sight of him but I could still see the mower's cable twisting in all directions until I heard a loud pop ... "It's ok .. just found our tennis ball" he yelled as he threw out a green mangled object. "Cream ... why don't you ..." My voice is drowned out by the noise of the mower and Cream dived straight back in again. A couple of seconds pass and there was another loud pop .. all went quiet.

"You've run over the cable haven't you?" "No, no, no ... there is just so much stuff in here." "Ok ... well use the strimmer then." A lot of muttering and swearing is heard and he finally concedes. Five minutes later he decides to give it a final combover with the mower and is surprised that it won't work. Sure enough he had cut the cable clean in two and had been prancing around a live wire!!

The garden was not the only thing in need of a restyling ... Cream has been growing his hair and his head is a bundle of beautiful curls .. not that you would know as he has it hidden under a woolly hat because he doesn't like it! Finally managed to convince him to leave the woolly at home to attend Visa and Vertigo's BBQ and no-one recognised him!! Dejanari did comment that he looked like a cherub! Managed to buy him a summer hat to replace the woollies so you may see more of the amazing curls this summer.

He should consider himself lucky .. if he had managed to electrocute himself his hair would have been even curlier!!!
