I've had a big backhoe here in an attempt to get rid of all that pesky black wattle at the bottom of the property. However, we forgot that it was Friday the 13th because less than ninety minutes into the job the old hoe sprung a hydraulic leak deep inside its innards. A whole hour spent in a supine position praying to all the mechanical gods of this world while hydraulic fluid dripped down on us would not reveal the source of the trouble.
We'll have to wait for the "experts" to come out next week to try to fix the problem so that we can get on with the job of eradicating the black wattle.
