Lucky you. Mine was done a week ago and it is already 3 to four inches long in places. (75 to 100mm)
On my headstone it will say: Please switch off mobile phones. I'm trying to get some sleep.

Likewise. Mine was done last Saturday and already looks as if it will need another trim.

Same here, only cut about a week ago and it looks as if it hasn't been touched for a month.

Unfinished grass business as usual this year, enough for today. The little Honda engine did its best. The horses in le grand pré à coté can't get enought of it, they keep on running and eating, looking happy, healthy and well fed, farmer's delight.

Cut mine yesterday. Still a mess but short. Need a drying day to get the lawn sweep out.
First time ever in November

Still cutting grass for clients - never known the likes of it, but I think today is going to be the last day. It just doesn't dry out. One year, maybe 2006/7, Mr B. mowed our top lawn on Boxing Day, so the kids could play with their new outdoor presents. That was mad, Ted! :lol:

No it certainly wasn't dry, but I managed to get my approx 1,000 sq meters cut on a fairly low setting with my electric mower. It looks like tomorrow is also ok here, but yup after that we have proper winter next week.

I've been known to mow the grass in December here at QS Acres :D At the moment, though, it's more about collecting up fallen leaves and there are a few more of those to come. Then there's the odd slalom to squash worm casts...all good fun :lol:
