I couldn’t start my lawnmower yesterday. I don’t know anything about lawnmowers, really, but I figured if I took it apart I could maybe see what was wrong. I took it apart and couldn’t see what was wrong. When my wife asked me to show her, I reassembled it, but then it unexpectedly started up fine. Lawn-mowing accomplished!
I didn’t do anything…honestly I have no idea. I guess the lawnmower equivalent of “did you try turning it off and turning it on again” is “did you try taking it apart and putting it back together”!


I’ve only ever owned electric mowers (actually, that shouldn’t be plural - I’ve only ever owned one electric mower which I brought back in 2007 when I got a house with a garden). It isn’t a battery one - I’m not sure they existed back then - but I will change it for one when I have to replace it as the cable’s a bit annoying.
I’d actually rather leave the grass to grow but apparently it looks untidy.
