Raking

At 92, Mum remains determined to be useful and was not to be persuaded that getting lunch ready would be as good, and that I'd manage. Insists we buy another lawn rake.

If i get to 92, i hope to be determined to maximise the pleasure in life. Which may well include being useful.

The leaves will just go under the trees. If anyone nearby Heriot Watt Riccarton campus needs leaves to make leaf mould, let me know. Mainly sycamore, horse chestnut, some oak and acer.
