In Desperate times...My Silky saves the day!

I don't mind rain really...or wind or snow..I guess that's why I'm suited to outdoor work...I only find high summer temperatures hard to deal with.

You swine, Paul! It was properly grim at this latitude today.

 

Pissing it down? Send the boy!

It was an absolute downpour.but like me, he loves the elements and doesn't consider wether its wet or dry...just gets on with it. We have very thick skin up here and its fully waterproof.

Hi Paul how long has your son been doing that for then mate well done to him mate thanks jon

 

He has been in bar work/restaurant work for years in the evenings...he's very social unlike me.loves crowds and a lad's lad. But started taking an interest in chainsaws and climbing when he was 7 or 8...went to college got his tickets a few years back even excelled at pole climbing...I got to know Ian Flatters because of him. When I got my first tipper he used to flick the switch...he's a natural....

You're a tougher man than me, Mr B. I was looking out of a classroom window today at some guys digging in the churchyard and was bloody glad to be inside. Cold, wet, windy, Southern wuss.

Nonsense Alex...we are all designed to be outdoors...we have such a temperate climate here."no such thing as bad weather...just the wrong clothing!" As they say. Anyway I happen to know that this is one of your favourite pastimes....very brave I would say...I do like this picture....you are in this Canoe right?

Not me but well spotted. That's one of my mate Adam's photos he put on facebook for this "10 photos that make me smile" thing that's going around at the mo. He nominated me to put up my 10. I've not done it yet but was actually just looking at some old ones on there and considering it. My fb feed has been mainly ranting and complaining recently so some positive vibes won't do any harm.

 

This is one of my favourite pics of me in a boat. Nighttime on Loch Oich, the wind going our way for the first time in a week and a bit.

That's a brilliant picture mate! You outward bounder;)

I do like water..this was my view from my front door as I emerged each morning from my narrowboat when I first lived in London.
