Exciting day – New robotic lawnmower was installed and it was set off to do its thing round the garden. I obsessively and proudly tracked its progress remotely, using the app on my phone, whilst I was walking the dogs. Once I got home I happily watched it trundling about to and fro. Then it mysteriously disappeared from view and sent a forlorn alert to my phone. I went out to investigate and found it had managed to garrote itself on a loop of the boundary wire (which the installer had forgotten to bury for some reason) and cut through it, breaking the circuit and rendering the machine helpless. I had to rescue it and put it back to dock to await a return visit from the installer.
Jeez. Maybe I should get a sheep.
He definitely didn’t deserve that bit of cake with his cuppa.
