Do it yourself
/duː/ /ɪt/ /jɔːˈsɛlf/
Inevitably the repair job was not quite so simple. The mower
/ɪnˈɛvɪtəbli/ /ðə/ /rɪˈpeə/ /ʤɒb/ /wɒz/ /nɒt/ /kwaɪt/ /səʊ/ /ˈsɪmpl./ /ðə/ /ˈməʊə/
firmly refused tomow, so I decided to dismantle it. The
/ˈfɜːmli/ /ˌriːˈfjuːzd/ /tuː/ /maʊ,/ /səʊ/ /aɪ/ /dɪˈsaɪdɪd/ /tuː/ /dɪsˈmæntl/ /ɪt./ /ðiː/
garden was soon littered with chunks of metal which had
/ˈgɑːdn/ /wɒz/ /suːn/ /ˈlɪtəd/ /wɪð/ /ʧʌŋks/ /ɒv/ /ˈmɛtl/ /wɪʧ/ /hæd/
once made up a lawn mower. But I was extremely pleased
/wʌns/ /meɪd/ /ʌp/ /ə//lɔːn/ /ˈməʊə./ /bʌt/ /aɪ/ /wɒz/ /ɪksˈtriːmli/ /pliːzd/
with myself. I had traced the cause of the trouble. One of the
/wɪð/ /maɪˈsɛlf./ /aɪ/ /hæd/ /treɪst/ /ðə/ /kɔːz/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /ˈtrʌbl./ /wʌn/ /ɒv/ /ðiː/
links in the chain that drives the wheels hadsnapped. After
/lɪŋks/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /ʧeɪn/ /ðæt/ /draɪvz/ /ðə/ /wiːlz/ /hæd/ /snæpt./ /ˈɑːftə/
buying a new chain I was faced with the insurmountable
/ˈbaɪɪŋ/ /ə/ /njuː/ /ʧeɪn/ /aɪ/ /wɒz/ /feɪst/ /wɪð/ /ði/ /ˌɪnsə(ː)ˈmaʊntəbl/
task of putting the confusing jigsaw puzzle together again. I
/tɑːsk/ /ɒv/ /ˈpʊtɪŋ/ /ðə/ /kənˈfjuːzɪŋ/ /ˈʤɪgˌsɔː/ /ˈpʌzl/ /təˈgɛðər/ /əˈgɛn./ /aɪ/
was not surprised to find that machine still refused to work
/wɒz/ /nɒt/ /səˈpraɪzd/ /tuː/ /faɪnd/ /ðæt/ /məˈʃiːn/ /stɪl/ /ˌriːˈfjuːzd/ /tuː/ /wɜːk/
after I had reassembled it, for the simple reason that I was
/ˈɑːftər/ /aɪ/ /hæd/ /ˌriːəˈsɛmbld/ /ɪt,/ /fɔː/ /ðə/ /ˈsɪmpl/ /ˈriːzn/ /ðæt/ /aɪ/ /wɒz/
left with several curiously shaped bits of metal which did not
/lɛft/ /wɪð/ /ˈsɛvrəl/ /ˈkjʊərɪəsli/ /ʃeɪpt/ /bɪts/ /ɒv/ /ˈmɛtl/ /wɪʧ/ /dɪd/ /nɒt/
seem to fit anywhere. I gave up in despair. The weeks passed
/siːm/ /tuː/ /fɪt/ /ˈɛnɪweə./ /aɪ/ /geɪv/ /ʌp/ /ɪn/ /dɪsˈpeə./ /ðə/ /wiːks/ /pɑːst/ /
and the grass grew. When my wife nagged me to do
/ænd/ /ðə/ /grɑːs//gruː./ /wɛn/ /maɪ/ /waɪf/ /nægd/ /miː/ /tuː/ /duː/
something about it, I told her that either I would have to buy
/ˈsʌmθɪŋ/ /əˈbaʊt/ /ɪt,/ /aɪ/ /təʊld/ /hɜː/ /ðæt/ /ˈaɪðər/ /aɪ/ /wʊd/ /hæv/ /tuː/ /baɪ/
a new mower or let the grass grow. Needless to say our
/ə/ /njuː/ /ˈməʊər/ /ɔː/ /lɛt/ /ðə/ /grɑːs/ /grəʊ./ /ˈniːdlɪs/ /tuː/ /seɪ/ /ˈaʊə/
house is now surrounded by a jungle.Buried somewhere in
/haʊs/ /ɪz/ /naʊ/ /səˈraʊndɪd/ /baɪ/ /ə/ /ˈʤʌŋgl./ /ˈbɛrid/ /ˈsʌmweər/ /ɪn/
deep grass there is a rusting lawn mower which I have
/diːp/ /grɑːs/ /ðeər/ /ɪz/ /ə/ /ˈrʌstɪŋ/ /lɔːn/ /ˈməʊə/ /wɪʧ/ /aɪ/ /hæv/
promised to repair one day.
