Trim couple of hundred metres of hedge. Strange how the hedge clippers get heavier as the job goes on.

Agreed. My battery hedge clippers, a supposedly like for like replacement for an excellent machine that I had to get rid of because the battery wouldn't charge and I couldn't get a replacement, get more and more useless each year. They won't cut anything at all woody, or anything floppy, which makes trimming leylandii a real problem. So much so, that when I cut the leylandii at the allotment which is mixed with hawthorn, blackthorn and elderberry, it is quicker and easier to do it with secateurs (seriously)! I have the front hedge at home on my list for today, but I suspect the slightest excuse will stop me from doing it.

I use an electric Stihl - lighter than a battery one but we do rely on having electricity at various points around the place. Stihl don't make my model any more; replaced by battery one. Bah!

I don't trust myself not to cut an electric cord. Also the rear hedge is a fair way from any electric points, with plenty of easily damaged plants in the way. I much prefer battery, and would be able to use it at the allotment if it wasn't so useless! The previous one was battery powered and worked very well. Both Bosch, which I believe is supposed to be a good make.

Only a kind-of gardening job but awful so I need brag about it.

Clear the woodshed of summer-acquired tat ready to receive 5m3 logs next week. Winter is coming.
