*changes topic*
I need to get my grass cut. Today.
It's been cut once by myself with hedge shears

earlier in the Summer and now it needs doing again.

I've had my lads out asking their friends if they have a lawn mover we can borrow for an hour but they keep forgetting, the middle one teasing me with promises of yes, I'll ask so-and-so when I can go get it but I don't have his phone number.
*pouts*
I've just gone out to measure it and it's 2 feet or taller in some spots, bare in patches for I'm-all-of-a-sudden-allergic-to-grass, Angel dawg.
So ... I either go down to the yucky old neighbour's house to ask him (he'll agree but there will be strings) or I get the shears out (the lads are at opposite ends of the city limits, conveniently).
Can I borrow your Hoover, Sista?
