Hoovering sucks. Mow instead.

I've had an idea.  And as ideas go, it's a cracker.  Probably one of my better ones.
I was inspired by the lawn. 
Well, sort of.  I was inspired by the pine needles on the lawn really.

Maybe it's not hugely clear from this picture, but earlier today, our lawn was hidden under about a trillion pine needles - a result of the big wind we've had around here (no, not from Little Boy - that's for another post).  I thought I'd take a pic, knowing that once the mowing was done, the lawn would be transformed.

And sure enough, it was.  It turned green again.
And that got me thinking.  You know how much of a pain it is having to pick things up when you're hoovering.   All those toys and CDs and socks and cups and saucers and the like.  Well, surely there's an obvious solution.  Stop hoovering, and start mowing indoors.  You'll never have to bend down to pick something up again.  Just mow it.  Sure, you'll need quite a heavy duty mower for some of the bigger items, but think of the time you'll save.  And anything that's mown up will NEVER have to be tidied away again.  It'll be gone from your life for ever (mind out for the pets...)  If you've got a petrol mower, you even save having to faff around with power cables and plugging and unplugging as you wander around the house.
New regime starts tomorrow.
