16km cut

I gave the new mower (lc 353 awd) a good workout in sultry murky weather. Husqvarna have shifted the lateral grass exit to the back of the machine. Makes it so much more efficient and stops nearly all that frustrating blocking. It’s also been generally reinforced giving it a more rigid. I should have bought a new machine last year.

Temps were up to 32c under cloud and Saharan dust.

Been listening to the FT using the TTS ( text to speech) feature. Can be a bit clunky but makes me feel myself to be a very well informed mower.

Italy were lucky to only lose one-nil to Spain. From what I’ve seen so far I’d put my money on Spain or Germany winning.

Happy Solstice. Late extra: Speckled Bush Cricket
