the thinking behind owning a leaf blower? What is that all about?
The saying...
‘Don’t crap on your own doorstep!?! seems to fit nicely!
My father jointly owned a cottage on the Ouse in York with a lady friend, she lived there permanently, he just visited!?! Obviously as it was that close to the river it was high risk. Very often the water would come up over the footpath to the garden wall between them and the river. On these occasions Margaret would take the opportunity to lob over the wall any rubbish she had.
She just didn’t get it that her rubbish would finish up further down the Ouse outside some other poor bugger’s house, in the sea or even worse a passing whales tummy!
Fly tipping of an upmarket kind, she obviously thought as she gaily waved away the crud she had been waiting to pay someone to collect and take away!
Are leaf blowers for suckers, I idly wonder?

Definitely!

How awful that lady threw her rubbish in the river. I do worry about the sea turtles, whales and fish ingesting that garbage. Leaf blowers, what a nuisance.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was hopping mad at the time. Even after all these years I can remember it as if it was yesterday.

I've often wondered about them myself. Never quite understood the point of them! x
ReplyDeleteAnd the noise! It reminds me a bit of those Italian waiters, (remember those days? Meals out?) brandishing those whopping big pepper mills. Men faffing about waving their things in the air type of thing!?!

Leaf blowers replace brooms and leaf rakes, and are used by the gardening industry that seems to have invaded every American middle class and up neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteIt’s where they blow it to that I am concerned about... next door, or the street? And the noise!

My leave blower makes my life easier, it takes little time to blow off little bits and pieces of the stones around the pool, cleans all walkways around the house and driveway, in the fall gathering leaves is an easy task. It has saved me a lot of back pain, can't think of a life without it! I'm writing this without my glasses. An old Woman like me should have two pairs, one for downstairs and one for upstairs, don't you agree?
ReplyDeleteP.S ...the of_ should have had a second f.
ReplyDeleteEnglish language hard language!
You sound exactly like me, I fire off emails, replies and either in my haste I have spelt something not quite right or ruddy predictive text thinks it knows what I want to say... as if!?!
DeleteGlasses a new phenomenon for me, all these years I have never known the problems of being short sighted... now I do, and yes a pair for upstairs and down I do have, only cheapo off the shelf ones though.
It is good that you have blown my opposition to leaf blowers out of the water as it were!?!
