To mow the lawn tomorrow?

[Lunificent]

I planned to do it today but it’s raining. I’m not going to do it during the funeral but would I be unreasonable to do it later in the day tomorrow?

Of course it's fine!

FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!! YES MOW THE BLOODY LAWN! WE AREN'T IN A STATE-MANDATED GRIEF LOCKDOWN! GOD, WHY ARE PEOPLE SO FUCKING WET!!

Sorry for shouting, I don't know what came over me...

Are you actually being serious???? We aren't going to be arrested for being g traitors if we aren't sat glued to our tv

Oh fgs

It's fine, we are going on a family bike ride tomorrow after the funeral. I'm not fussed about watching it but the 7 year old has expressed an interest so I'll put it on and carry on with my morning. That will include washing but as we are in a detached with currently no neighbours either side I very much doubt I'll be upsetting anyone else.

I would perhaps give it a miss if I was likely to get arrested but I wouldn't be happy about it. I've got nothing against the queen but I feel nothing but indifference about her death and as such I don't want to sit and watch her funeral.

Fucking batshit.

I was going to, but can see some of my neighbours getting outraged. It's not worth the passive aggressive bullshit.

It fucks me off that we are expected to behave in ways that would not be extended to our loved ones. I had people overtake my mum's hearse on the way to her funeral because apparently it was too inconvenient to wait a few minutes to respect our grief. And she was half the age of our deceased monarch, so her death was an actual genuine tragedy for our family.

But we are all supposed to put life on hold and prostrate ourselves over the death of a famous, wealthy, protected stranger?

I deeply resent the hypocrisy of how this royal mourning period has been forced on everyone regardless of their own burdens. Being born into a monarchy does not make her life more valuable.

I supported the monarchy ten days ago. I do not anymore after witnessing this disgusting spectacle.

I’m mowing my lawn tomorrow AND hedge trimming and the royalist neighbours will probably be too pissed on Buckfast to do anything.

That will include washing but as we are in a detached with currently no neighbours either side I very much doubt I'll be upsetting anyone else.

Even if you weren't detached/neighbourless YWNBU to do your washing! People can do what they like in their own homes. Normal every-day noise such as washing, vacuuming, children playing or mowing the lawn isn't suddenly classed as antisocial behaviour because some people want to watch an event on TV. Anyone who expects the whole nation to fall silent for hours is being ridiculous.

So don't do it @tickticksnooze. No one can force you to stay in your house and mourn. I'm going to have a normal Bank holiday and go out and about, and I don't give a rat's ass who it offends.

To be honest I think it's what the Queen's children are going to be thinking about when in the service. All those people who they don't know and are miles away daring to mow their lawn, go on bike rides or similar. It'll probably ruin their day.

I'd mow the lawn. We are having a family get together and going to have fun and not mention the funeral. I wouldn't put music on outside during the funeral not that I know what time it is. None of my family are mourning the Querns death. It's of no interest to us.

I think one should wear black, a hat and heels for gardening work. That should placate the neighbours. Not to mention the royals will sleep easy too.

I would mow the grass tomorrow or on Monday. The country has gone bonkers. It’s a Bank Holiday - do whatever the hell you want- your lawnmower isn’t going to disrupt the funeral.

Our bin men are not coming on Monday, but will come Tuesday. We did our garden yesterday as we decided not to do it tomorrow. I won’t be annoyed if anyone does mow their lawn tomorrow, we will have to do a dog walk mid morning if we want any peace to watch the funeral.

Could you do it with scissors, so it's quieter?

Sorry, only joking! I wondered if maybe you could get it done early in case your neighbours were twitching curtains, but it looks as though it starts around 11am..

Jesus H tap dancing Christ. You can mow your lawn whenever you bloody want. The nation doesn’t have to stop and sit in silence for the whole day because we buried the Queen.

It would be incredibly crass to mow your lawn. Does no one have any respect any more?!

I am a Royalist and tomorrow I will be completing repairs on my garden shed floor and then laying a new floor over the old one and moving stuff back into the shed. Yes there will be some noise. I didn't expect the world to stop when either of my parents died, not my inlaws, not my beloved husband.

Are you in a 'naice' area op? I imagine if I lived in a posh area this might be something I would worry about. I don't think my crackhead neighbours or the lady upstairs with an asbo would really care if I mowed my lawn tomorrow.

What's disrespectful about mowing a lawn?

Thanks for reminding me. I need to do ours. It's grown so quickly in September. Hardly grew at all in August because of the lack of rain.

Crass 😂😂😂😂

Crikey! I think there's a bloody good chance our builders will turn up to do a bit more work on our loft conversion tomorrow. Better warn them!!!

I wouldn’t have thought twice about it but yes I guess some of your neighbours may find it annoying/disrespectful.

I’d still mow my lawn but avoid the funeral times out of respect for my neighbours.
