I must admit that's commitment. Can 20 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: we talk about the size of the lawn? Is it 21 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: quite large or is it quite small? 22 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: Well, it's a bit. 23 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: It's a pretty decent patch. 24 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: No, it's not out the front. I don't have it, 25 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: but I don't have much lawn. 26 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: Lawn. 27 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: I don't have much lawn. I got rid of the 28 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 2: lawn years ago. It was fashionable. 29 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: I've had my lazy and I thought, you know what, Wow, 30 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: you're going to get You're going to get into that 31 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: edges are a bit of. 32 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 2: And have a clean up cake. 33 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,839 Speaker 1: You didn't put the backyard at the same time. Hey, mom, 34 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: I gave the lawn a Brazilian the other night. It 35 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: looks really good.

Okay, there's one 37 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 2: bit that's just like a strip of lawn, a bit 38 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 2: like a cricket pitch, but half the size. But the 39 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: backyard is a really irritating little piece of lawn because 40 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 2: it also has travetine stepping stones on it so you 41 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: can get to the clothes line.

Anyway, 46 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: So I have done this before, but there's been a 47 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 2: period of my life over the years where I've had 48 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: somebody who can use the whipper snipper for me.
