They predicted gale force winds today, with winds expected to reach 50 kilometres an hour.
I think they did, judging by the amount of feijoas that were thrown from my tree today.
We also had many items sailing around the back yard of their own accord (i.e. ladders). I now understand why my Grandfather used to tie them down with rope.
Anyway, despite the unwieldy weather, at 2pm I overheard the neighbours using a leaf-blower in their backyard. I'm not sure what they hoped to achieve, as the blower would never be able to compete with nature. Perhaps they were assisting the leaves to soar up into the tornado-like suction of the heavens, and trespass over into adjacent yards.
I just hope they didn't fall into mine.
Not that I could tell one species of leaf from another.
I think leaf blowers are the stupidest and most peace-disturbing invention known to man. What kind of nonsense is it when you can use a rake. Use en effing rake!
ReplyDeleteElectric lawn mowers (with a cord) are pretty funny too!
