Probably in a merry band of one here

I don't mind mossand other bits and bobs in with the grass. It's green and more interesting than a standard grass monoculture. 'Perfect' lawns are just green, sterile and might as well be astroturf...unless you want to play bowls on it.

Nope, I'll throw my hat in this ring, ours is riddled with moss, daisies, dandelions, wildflowers and other odds n sods that I don't know the name of, we try and leave it 3 - 4 weeks between mows so it has a chance to feed whatever insects are around and we get rewarded by having numerous birds hanging around throughout the day.

It had better grow back green, lush and level…

I hate Moss with a passion. FWIW i have started to just leave the mower cuttings on my lawn rather than binning them. It has reduced my moss and grass is growing back more lush. OK in patches just now but its only been a few month. You dont see much moss in council fields/parks and they never pick up after themselves.

I’ll bear that in mind, I cut the back lawn on Sunday and left the clippings as the bin is full but that’ll likely be getting the same treatment as the front in due course.

For the bird lovers, the front lawn has become a feeding ground for every bird in the surrounding area so they won’t be going hungry for a while… FFS

Had a pleasant early afternoon driving through the mountains in SW Portugal.
Not the perfect roads for pulling a trailer but I had time to kill so just plodded on and enjoyed the scenery.

The mighty Duster has got a bit of waft and coped well with the extra 300 kilos

Went to say hello at work and then to physio - he found new places on the back of my lower leg that hurt when "massaged" !! All my physios seem to be physio terrorists! I think it's a requirement for most

Did a small shop for tomorrow's project! Tomorrow I will make a lot of spring rolls - mostly for the freezer

Currently on the sofa with a big bucket of tea and an ice cream - crochet project to work on then early to bed!! LOL

And looking at that smilie - I've not had any alcohol since I came home
