Is it about this famous landmower which works alone?

Hi Alice: I don't know whether this is the "famous" mower, but it is an automatic mower. This one is made by a Swedish (?) company called Husqvarna. An animation showing the operation of the device can be found here:

Interesting matter: auto-machines. Oh, Husqvarna! It remembers me the sewing machines and a September day in 1969 when I was hitch-hiking Europe and woke up under an highway viaduct near Husqvarna, Sweden for my 20th birthday...

Automatic, computer mowers do not move me!! They can stay in the shed along with my standard mower!!

HAHAHA! Very effective advertisement, if you ask me. :-)

Yes, I read your post about the cats and birds. Like cats and dogs aren't friends, birds and cats aren't supposed to be friends either.

hmm.. lawnmowers of any sort do not excite me. This is a great shot of a pretty garden but it behoves me to cut my own; a postage stamp size of overgrown grass sporting dandelions by the dozen. Hmmm are the dandelions too pretty to mow? Sounds like a good excuse to me...

Hello z! I think we are talking about the same type of mower, i didn't remember the brand (the mark?). But i am not like Lynn (is she really English???), i like to cut the lawn and i've learned how to keep my mower in repair! But i have to say that half an hour is enough to cut all the grass in my huge property...

It was only for a short time that I had a grassy patch of my own to mow, and I used a push mower. Unless I had waited too long and the grass was almost falling over. Then, I had to pull out the old electric mower the previous resident had left behind. I always worried about running over the power cord on that thing!
