Two for the price of one. Today we’re looking at ride-on lawnmowers. What comes to mind when we think of ride-on mowers? Why, women in uncomfortable-looking shorts, of course! Now, I can’t see the footwear in these fine young ladies, but the ensembles suggest some sort of open-toed arrangement. I’m not sure how that would fit in with modern health and safety practice. In fact, a closer look at these mowers suggests to me that they are lacking somewhat in the safety department. The ladies do not, however, seem to mind.
I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral
