I actually managed to get the grass cut. I last cut it about the 8th of September, just before we went on holiday. There has hardly been a single dry day since we got back, so I chanced it as yesterday was dry and it hadn't rained by lunchtime today. Normally produces about 2 grass boxes of clippings - today it was 6 and it was like mowing a paddy field, but at least it's done. This evening is tipping down again.
I gave up feeding sunflower hearts for the summer and just put out the seed mix on the bird table. As a result all the finches left for greener pastures but at least the area under the bird feeder had a chance to recover from being constantly trampled. There has been an abundance of wild food this year so I didn't feel bad. I started feeding again on Sunday and the goldfinches arrived back this morning
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

I'm going to disagree @KT53. I think that will be done in competition in the next few years. Maybe even the next Olympics
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
