Green Man	I quite like the sound of machinery.

Afterwards the leaf blower (a really bizarre invention) has helpfully covered everyone's path with grass which will be trodden into carpets for the next few days. Meanwhile, the road by the grass remains covered in potholes which the council seems to be using as 'speed managers'. Or maybe they can't be arsed. One of the two. I can't believe someone hasn't invented a silent leafblower..a fortune to be made. I don't understand what they are for. I see people using them and it looks like the leaves are blown all over the place and then you have to sweep them up? You might as well just sweep them in the first place.

He was a landscaper/glorified gardener type thing, and the grass clippings were put into big deep containers, and I liked to stand on the wall and jump into them. Sadly, one turned out to be manure, and they had put a layer of grass on top to stop it drying out. a childhood memory to treasure. Beats a better career path as a bullshitter journo.
