Scythe or Sickle

Still cutting plants down. I suppose if I was really struck by an environmental conscience I would just leave the weeds standing. My dad used to do jobs like this in the holidays at our holiday cottage in Wales, yes we were one of those families the Welsh Nationalists used to hate, but we got away with out having it burned down because we are part Welsh and it was our only house since we lived in the house owned by my dads church (he was a Baptist minister). Anyway my dad liked to use a sickle rather than a scythe because he thought he might cut his legs off if he used a long one, so if I cut my legs off during the next couple of days I know his fears were founded.
