Then what happened?

[testcricket01]

heavy eucalyptus reduction from today, had a few uncomfortable branches on 1 of the 4 stems over then powerlines, on a moist damp day not what you want to be near. but other than that simple job got told exactly what branches they wanted it cutting to

A slight teeny-weeny miscalculation of timing...

Well, as we were working in the middle of nowhere, and had a fire going for the last 3 days, it seemed only right to have something a little more upmarket for lunch. Coincidentally, Matt happened to have a rather juicy joint of beef that needed eating. So, in with a cookpot, a joint, some tatties and various other accompaniments. Dug out the embers and buried the pot, now Tescos recommended 1.5hrs cooking time for the beef, and with a little calculation we decided that as Poplar is not the best firewood, it may need 2hrs. So we got on with our days work, popped back just before lunch to check on the upcoming feasts progress, and its no longer looking so good. In fact its very very very black and resembling charcoal. Dejected...crestfallen...heartbroken do not describe the emotions coursing through my veins.

Then the client pops home, comes over to see us, asks how our day is going, to which we just say "Terrible!" "Why's that?" says he, "our roasts burnt" says we, to which he burst out laughing.

You could do with losing a few pounds after gorging on that chinese anyway

That would really p me off, feel for you, get yourself revved up for a kings feast, working extra hard, cos you know a reward awaits, then

 

Not quite a roast, but any hot food in winter is good, tattys about an hour beans a few minutes, squirt of grease yum!
