The robin is still there!

Four days ago I opened my shed and a robin was perched on the mower. I retreated slowly and have watched my grass get longer and longer crossing my fingers he wasn't spooked by my sudden appearance.
Haven't noticed him for the last couple of days and getting embarrassed by my 'lawn' I set up my video camera today to see if he was still there and saw him fly in and out again, Hooray!
So happy I didn't upset him and the missus and blow the neighbours the grass stays long. Anyone know how long I should wait before trying to do any more gardening? Run out of greenhouse jobs and only got potting on to do now - all my garden tools are in the shed!

What am I to do? I have only one neighbour who gardens and is likely to have a few tools I can borrow and he is in hospital (sadly very ill) I guess its time to call my children before the 'lawn' completely takes over!
I'm pretty sure its near the back though, just nervous about spooking them as the RSPB say they will abandon a nest if they think you know where it is. Interim measures called for, daughter loaning me a strimmer, fork and spade so I can keep the grass down and earth up the spuds. Have to improvise a net for the beetroot or the pigeons will get even fatter! Friends donating plastic drinks bottles (plenty in this weather) so I can get the peas in and extra compost is on its way.
Grandsons excited to see another nest when the time is right and whole family entering into the Dunkirk spirit. Wish I had one of those PIR camera thingies so I know when the coast is reasonably clear.
I may be over-reacting to making a disturbance but robins have a very special place in my heart. They always remind me of my husband who swore 'our' robin tracked him like radar whenever he was in the garden. I'm a bit bonkers but it feels like a message.
