He has zero gardening skills and normally just cuts things down. This means I need to get out and use my quiet, rechargeable Stihl trimmer to do my hedge between us out front or he'll try and do it, leaving it a scruffy, uneven mess like he did last time (I waited for the family to go out and did it again).
Thank flip the blue tits have just fledged from the box beside the hedge he is making a mess of or he could well have doomed them. Even luckier is I bet he never noticed the blackbirds nesting in the hedge, or that they gave up a few weeks ago (probably disturbed by their wretched cat) or he'd be sealing their fate too... You don't trim hedges until the end of June normally for this reason!

Does it remind you of the smell of 2 stroke racing bikes though ?
