On non-lawnmower (but still plant related topics) - has anyone seen a robotic pollen sweeping/catching machine... its getting a bit ridiculous here...

They use car covers round my way.

Spoiler alert!

I thought that too - we know he's not dead and we know he's fit enough to film.

He does use it on the TV whilst we are around but generally we're not fans as it does lead to them watching mindrot - however, see my edit just after you posted - we are around whilst he is doing it and generally results in us telling him to turn it off and watch something on disney plus.

Completely unrelated but I've one of those Bose Bluetooth speakers and it's awesome.
