Yes indeed we are.

I would have loved to see a picture of the lawnmower: reminded me of that 
wonderful tale in "The Ups and Downs of a Lock-keeper" about the guy mowing 
the steep grass bank at his lock with a petrol-driven hover-mower on a 
length of rope, letting it swing from side to side as he slowly paid out the 
rope. Suddenly the knot came undone and the mower set off down the bank and 
then hovered its way over the water into the middle of the river before 
tipping over and sinking!
