I don't have a ticket, simply some twenty years' experience of managing some woodland - aka my garden. I've definitely "learned by doing" and there's a knack to working out where something's going to drop.

Problem is, a small error at the base gets translated into a much bigger error at the top end.

It's rare a dangly tree defeats me. A series of v-shaped cuts around waist height is usually enough to allow gravity to snap the trunk. Then it's just a matter of pulling the top part free.

Nothing wrong in that in my case pay masters tend to get twitchy if don’t

Arses need to be covered. That's the difference between doing stuff for yourself and doing stuff for other people.

For the first time that I can remember, I left home for work at 8am. The madness of the morning school run and commuter time is NOT something that I want to repeat.

Oh dear, the adverts here seem to think I am in need of a set of golf clubs...

I found it fun at times. Just sailing past the line of cars going no-where, fast. Being passed by the same car more than once, seemed to upset them.

Looks like a mild winter in Boston Metro this year.

Been mounting and labelling photos for my archive. Need a break and I need a wee.

 

[Reynard]

Ah, that's more comfortable. Now for a and a biskit, methinks...

As ranted about mentioned on Thursday, I offered to go in to work on Friday to sort out a load of previously identified goods being imported for those of questionable taste. Who in their right mind would want a 6' x 3' Versace table and set of 6 chairs in their living room (fake obviously - Versace have confirmed it's not something they make!). Just the thing to go with the mirrored 'Chanel' side tables we stopped a few years ago as now installed in our tea point/rest area at work.

Owwwwwwwwwww, my eyes!!!

Gawd @Jenkins that's bloody awful. Bet it feels as cheap as it looks...

 

[Reynard]

Anyways, I've had a productive evening working on my archive. Time to bank the fire for the night and head off to bed.

Nunnight one and all xxx

This post has just reminded me, I was on the bus back from Wimborne yesterday, the route goes through a large estate of detached bungalows. There are large grass verges, and on the corner of one road someone has created a representation of two deer grazing out of small branches about 3” in diameter, the antlers are the twiggy ends of short branches and it looks really effective.

Good morning. I overslept today and I'm supposed to have an online conversation soon organising our bike tour...

Walking to mums, someone had put out a 4x halogen ceiling fitting with 4x LED halogens in it, dumped by a bin area.
4x LED bulbs retrieved, now In my possesion.

Won't they be a bit bright for your chandelier in your shed ?
