Yard work

[x-juggernaut.livejournal.com]

All right. Some of you little monsters may have noticed that it's spring again around here. That means everything's nice and green, and it's also nice and growing. Which in turn means there's a couple hundred acres of lawn out front and back that need mowing. Since at last count we have a wolf, a cat, a dragon and now a monkey as part of the student body but no cows or other large herbivores, this in turn means that some of you will need to become acquainted with the mowers.

Sunday is Lawn Care Day, for those so inclined to volunteer or those less inclined, to become volunteered. There's two ride-on mowers, don't bother volunteering for those if you're under fifteen. There are also six gas-powered push mowers, and one old-fashioned ribbon-wheel push mower for around the flowerbeds. The more volunteers I get, the quicker it'll get done. And if by some chance everyone's done by mid-afternoon, good ol' Mister Marko has a reputation of rewarding his labor force burgers and beer (if you're of age).

Call dibs here if you want, or find the sign-up sheet by my inbox in the foyer.

Football?

Hrm. A sport that doesn't involve blades that I am tolerable at. I'd almost like to play.

I'm a casual fan of Madrid United.

Not soccer, football. You probably call it "American football" or "gridiron" overseas. It's traditional for the Memorial Day holiday.

Hell, a quick lesson on the rules, and I'll bet you wouldn't be half bad at it.

Oh.

This'll teach me to post without double-checking such things.

Not your fault the silly Americans call a game where you pick up the ball with your hands football. ;)

And while I'm posting... I'm not one for mechanical things, especially with sharp bits and a little kid, but I'll volunteer for refuelling people, if I get some help in the kitchen? Drinks and the like?

Alergies and much with the not-wanting to help mow the ginormous lawn because I like breathing, but I can defiintely be on Lemonade and snack patrol with you and Dani.

The more the merrier. Specially since I'm not supposed to use the magic for things I could do by hand, so no TK spell 'help'. ;)
