She has a neighbour whose garden isn't big enough to kep him happy come in to do it for her... using my lawnmower.

In hot weather you should really have the mower on the highest possible setting, with the intention being more to cut down the weeds than the grass itself. Either that or you're leaving it far too long between cutting, like months or more, in which case there won't be any green left at the ground level.
