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?

It's like Covid2020 all over again. Am I allowed out etc...

Absolutely fine even during the funeral, assuming your lawn isn’t within the grounds of Westminster Abbey.

Because it makes a noise and is therefore disrespectful. Lets face it, having a beep to tell you when your shopping has scanned was deemed disrespectful by Morrisons. Just do it OP. Maybe not between 11 and 12.

I wouldn't mind the sound of a lawnmower tmw. What I'd really like (as I do everyday) is for my neighbours to stop their kid from shrieking and screaming outside in the back garden for what seems like hours without any checking from them. They just let him shriek. A lawnmower wouldn't drown his noise out.

God I wish I hadn't read this thread. I'm planning to cut my lawn tomorrow (I'm working today) and now I'm second guessing myself and feeling paranoid that my mostly elderly neighbours will all hate me if I do! Bloody Mumsnet....

Oh give over. My neighbour was building a shed on the day I buried my mum....I cared not a jot, and ,to me, my mum was more important than the Queen.

Do it during the funeral if you want. We'll be going about our day as normal tomorrow. Live TV won't be on all day as we have no interest in the funeral and are tired of seeing mention of it everywhere.

Good giddy god

I've got three kids aged 7, 5 and 2. Not a chance are they going to sit and watch an old lady's funeral on tv. I don't even know when it's on, so we'll just be going about our business like we do on any other day when someone we don't know is laid to rest.

Mow your lawn. Unless it's in the grounds of Buckingham palace.

That's what I was wondering.
Might do ours if it stays dry.

Yes, I think it’s entirely appropriate
Unless OP lives on Westminster green, it will have absolutely zero impact on the funeral, anyone’s ability to watch it and anyone’s chance to mourn

The idea that the country should go around silently with tears running down our cheeks is just absurd and nothing at all to do with respect

@tenbob “Unless OP lives on Westminster green” - I think you just cracked the missing piece of information that would make any sense of the OP 🤣

It's what liz would have wanted

Kind of regretting that DH mowed the lawn today now as it means it won't need doing tomorrow. Mind you, he's working tomorrow and it's a job I hate so 🤷‍♀️

This

It’s what her Majesty would’ve wanted.

This is a joke thread isn't it? Please let it be a joke.

Her majesty would not have wanted anyone to have an overgrown lawn surely?

National mourning isn't a joke.

Jesus. Of course it's ok to mow the lawn tomorrow if the weather isn't good enough.

To be honest, I don't even see an issue at doing it while the funeral is on - not like it will disturb the actual funeral. Anyone who is wanting to watch it, will be indoors watching it.

People die every day. People are buried/cremated every day. The world doesn't come to a stop because of that.

I am planning to work. I don't have an interest in watching the funeral of someone I don't know.

It is EVERYTHING to do with respect. You clearly have none for our queen who gave her whole life over to serving us while you can't even have a day set aside to honour her majesty. People like you make me sick.

People can choose to remember the Queen how they wish, if they wish. They have made tomorrow a bank holiday so people can watch not so people have to watch.

You're really deluded if you think the royal family care if Eileen from Norfolk is mowing her lawn tomorrow or if Andy has gone out on his bike in Newcastle.

Nor is it mandatory!

Oh I think @Carpy88999 is joking! Sorry if you are- completely over my head!!

If you were my neighbour mowing your lawn while the funeral was on I would shame you so bad on the neighbourhood WhatsApp group. You'd be the laughing stock of the street for all of time.
