I have to factor in whether the grass looks long, how persistent my missus is being (she thinks it needs doing more than I do), whether I'm having a BBQ, and how much time I want to spend in the garden pushing a flymo round with a beer in the other hand.

Earlier this year I had a spas' after my g/f was nagging me about the garden, so I went out and did it with garden shears! Took hours! Heh, she was fuming when it meant she had to deal with the baby all day! Ha ha.
