good on you mate well it all sinks in and your doing all the time its fun , its good your concentrating it means you care about what your doing and the risks involved , when i first started i used to dread doing reductions in fear of not knowing or getting it wrong but now i love them , and if i ever get bits where im perched right on the tip of a skinny branch i always find singing to myself helps ! even though you might think things didnt quite go as well or fluid as you thought they would your still one step better than you were yesrterday

Singing works. Well. Also gives the ground crew a giggle. Today I was reducing a line of very leggy ash in the wind.

 

Any guess which Bowie song I was ruining?
