Hat Trick.

[snuffer]

Please forgive the sporting metaphor, I must be the least sporty guy on the planet but I am so chuffed with my hat trick. This week I have had reason to get out and try from the shed; the lawnmower, the petrol powered strimmer and the Mantis tiller. All three fired up and were ready to go at the first time of trying. Fantastic, they've all been stored in the back of the shed for the last four or five months and all started first time.

I know it's not earth shattering news or anything but I was so pleased I just had to share it with you lot .

Oh...the HOURS my OH has spent over the years trying to start all 3 of those pieces of equipment!

- what a relief for you!

They are the kind of things that make you feel good...'specially when you don't expect that everything is going to go quite that well...

You must have put them away for the winter in top condition!

Gosh! I hope your good fortune extends up the country, we haven't tried any of those 3 things yet this year! Although my OH refuses to dig where he could rotavate, so I almost hope the Mantis fails us... Mind you, then he'd spend days trying to fix it, and still not dig
