Life is Good!

Apart from a pair of wild Duck, courting and seriously looking for a nest site on Sat morning, I disturbed a Coot/Moorhen this evening in the dusk, she merely flitted to the other side of the pond and disappeared in among the vegetation.

Fingers crossed!!

Another full load of Hawthorn and Ash home for firing, and sitting with a superb bottle of Belfast Black beer enjoying the crisp Sunshine.

Plus also enjoying ogling my mostly Ash firewood pile.

Currently on the way to the Harbour Bar, Portrush, for a stout.

It were so fornicating perishingly cold walking along the prom though.   

Be glad to soon be back in the 30 odd degrees in the garden Room.

Cheers.

Last drag of Ash home this evening, such a pleasure to be working in the dry clean footing, and with the yoke sitting on the verge of  the (very minor) County road.

Unfortunately only an Erdinger Weissbier today, but a full trailer load of the Queen of Firewood? being  Quickthorn /Hawthorn. Very very straight(for Hawthorn) and quite  thornless.

From tidying up the roadside verge where the Ash had to be removed.

I reckon they will sprout from the stumps and be cuttable with a tractor mount hedge flail when needed. They had simply got far too tall due to zero cutting for too many years and were badly overhanging the road. 

I may even plant more Thorn quicks to form a proper hedge. Just because.

BTW, the Titanic took 2 hours 40 minutes to sink. You should do at least four bottles in that time. 😁

My pancrease may disagree!

And oddly, the odd time I indulge myself with a 2nd beer or bottle, I do not enjoy it as much as the first one.

Plus!

I ud get as fat as a fool since alcohol still gives me an appetite AND lessens my rather needed calorific restraint.

Cheers!
