First Cut Of The Year - Wed W-I-D-E Challenge

It’s Wednesday….and yesterday, I decided that as we had not had any rain or frost for several days and the lawn was looking reasonably dry and had grown quite a bit since the last cut of the previous Autumn, that this morning, I would run the mower over it for a bit of a trim…the first cut of this year. And I wanted it looking reasonably presentable for the Green Thumb man who would be coming out soon.

But on to today’s BlipFoto – and in my mind late last night, I had a vision of what I would do for today’s photo– “W-I-D-E on Wednesday Challenge Low Angle. 

But of course, like  all plans, something comes along to disrupt, and sure enough, I awoke to find glorious sunshine and… the grass covered in dew.  So, no grass cutting this morning, or for the whole day, however, by mid-afternoon, the dew had disappeared, and the grass was virtually dry, so out came the lawnmower, together with an opportunity to have a go at today’s wide photo challenge and the other requirement “Low Angle”.  And here it is – something a bit quirky.

As for the rest of the day…we received a letter from our local council informing us that we were in a zone 3km from a Bird Flu outbreak and courtesy of Mrs IU, I placed an order for a brand new all singing all dancing 55” TV.  Well actually it won’t do either of those two things, but just sit on a TV cabinet and allow us to watch an amazing assortment of TV programs.  And to think that around 45 years ago, a 21” TV with spindly legs and rented from Rediffusion was magnificent, after all, we could watch…THREE channels. It would be another 5 years before we got a fourth.

And with the evening meal out of the way, it was time for me to watch the third and final ladies T20 cricket from Australia which I had recorded a few days ago and for Mrs IU to watch Holby.  However, just like the second T20 that was washed out, when I started the recording, I discovered this was washed out too.  Oh well - but I did find an interesting thriller series to watch on Amazon Prime and ended up watching three episodes back to back.
