Would this help?

You could even keep 2M away.

I was about to buy the stihl version of that before lockdown hit. Better than teeter-tottering on a ladder because I can't reach stuff!

It's a hot but slightly blustery day here chez Casa Reynard. I have been busy sorting photos this morning as I am judging in a virtual cat show.

I will be going to Tesco later as it's got to the point where I *need* stuff rather than *would like* stuff. If there is a queue, I shall stay in the car till it subsides. A book might be a good thing to take.

In my experience..... the queue gets longer the longer you sit and wait, bite the bullet, if there is a queue get in it, just stay 2 m apart

Put the bike on the turbo today, after freeing up a bit of room in the garage. Then I discovered the sensor batteries were dead. Appears they last worked in March!

Better get the long one than getting up a ladder with a chainsaw, have seen pictures of some horrific accidents on ladders with chainsaws

I think the petrol ones have all the weight at the bottom, this has a motor at the top so it's a bit heavy. It's adequate for me tho'.

Just going to say that too, better get one that is nicely balanced

I'm not that silly.

I prefer to do things from ground level. I have telescopic loppers and a mechanical tree pruner on a pole, but the former are no good if stuff's too high up and the latter's no good if stuff is more than half an inch thick...

I must admit I did consider a ladder to lop off the bough of an Oak that was over the top of my shed, it was also blocking light to my Christmas tree, a lot of deliberation and I dropped the tree, I left it 2 ft above ground and luckily has a lot of bushy growth this year

I think you should post the photo and challenge Mundaners to suggest the theme for which it is being submitted

I was in a queue outside Haflords the other day paying attention to the 2metre markers and thought about the game Snakes and Ladders!
A couple of minutes later I went up a ladder as they called out for anyone who had placed an online order.
