There has to be a place in hell for the inventor of the leaf blower. The summer reverberates to the sound of these things, I have grown to despise them. This is because they are used for everything, if there is dirt on the driveway, out comes the leaf blower.
Whilst we were walking the dogs we passed a guy with a blower strapped to his back removing debris from his driveway. The petrol driven appliance was so loud, the dogs were frightened and tried to run away. It was louder than some of my wood cutting machines, almost made me want to go and tell the bloke to switch the bloody thing off, he was polluting the peace and the air, and it’s not necessary.
I had a much better day in myself, I let the dogs play in their way, although it looks rough I am assured that’s the way they do it, and as long as there isn’t any blood and bits of ear about, I’m fine with that.
We had to deliver the dresser we sold yesterday, another quick sale.
