Lawn

So much for me being a procrastinator (can’t even get that right) I reseeded part of my back garden lawn and I am at this moment wishing for rain. Bit mad really for an Irish man, wishing for rain as we get more than enough in this country.  I made up an aerator (peace of wood with nails) so I could help the lawn along. Since Rocky 2 came along, grass doesn’t get a chance to grow as he wears it out. Have to be honest though, as I tend to play football with him a lot. Funny thing is, I can now flick the ball up on my foot and do at least 3 keepy upees. I was never able to do keepy upees before and as for getting the ball up on my foot, forget it. My ball skills are getting really good (really bad for normal people) Strange thing is that my co ordination and ball skills were so bad; I wasn’t allowed to play football in national school. I used to feel really hurt about that and have never been back to Ramelton since leaving home. Ahh! I still go home to my parents, but never socialise in Ramelton. It was never a conscious decision and when I go home I recognise people but feel abit embarrassed as I hadn’t known then since national school. I think that’s a common story for people who leave a country areas. Still happy to call myself a Ramelton man though. Anyway, back to my lawn. I’m going to do another patch in a weeks time because I know if I do the whole lot, the grass will not grow as there will be no place for Rocky 2 to run around.
