  1. Not seeking conflict at all. I was kinda agreeing with you. I don’t believe someone uses that amount in a day for yard work. Therefore it is an error in the watches part based on BMI, HR and steps. It was highlighted that it will give a high number of steps based on hand movement. So by that I read that most of the other estimations are slightly dubious. That’s all I will say on the matter.
  2. No, my remark has a place. It’s right there in the post, a couple above yours. I was only commenting on what has been written. No need for a dick measuring competition. I don’t have a Fitbit or Apple Watch.
  3. One is talking Calories the other is talking KCalories. Bit of a difference.
  4. I have just read this for the first time. Thanks for highlighting the fact many overlook, turning off the machine. I hope you manage to keep strong both physically and mentally. The mental part for me was harder than the physical recovery. My injury was nowhere near as serious, but still was potentially career threatening. Where about are you in the country? An old friend and member on here did very similar a number of years ago. There is a thread about that as well. Dave made a remarkable recovery after many years of operations and rehab. He is no longer in the industry I believe. Unfortunately I lost touch with him when I moved away from the UK and he is t one for much social media. All the best mate and keep strong. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
  5. Here you go then. BTW My friend who originally posted this is a Muslim.
  6. The surgeons did a very good job. I did a hell of a lot of physio.
  7. A couple of snaps of my hand. I will spare the before pic as they are a bit nasty. The after surgery pictures aren’t much better tbh. That last picture was 1 minute ago.
  8. How is the hand now? Healed ok?
  9. Being upright as possible converts the energy upwards from the legs rather than more out in front if your leaning too far back.
  10. Imagine you are pedalling a bike backwards. Keep you heels under your but. It stops the rope kicking out but also keeps you a bit more upright. Just use a sling as a chest tether. Or a length of cord. Twist at the back and put it on like a rucksack and clip the two loops in front of you with a krab. Again it will keep you a bit more upright.
  11. Where is the tree? Ie where do you live? I have never really heard anyone in the Uk say they like a tree because it provides shade. Therefore, if you live in a hotter climate then the advice given by UK arborists may not be that suitable.
  12. Cut / damaged 6 tendons and removed the nerves from 3 fingers on my right hand. Luckily none of them were totally severed. Courtesy of a moments lapse in concentration and a circular saw. 5 hours of surgery and a diagnoses of not working again. I was back at work 10 months later and full time after 12 months. It is still very painful in the winters due to the nerve damage. Index finger will be forever numb as they didn’t managed to find the nerves.
  13. Lovely walk in the woods this evening. Nice and cool after a long hot day. Saw a few Deer but no Moose.
  14. They say between 25 and 30 ish kg. Some are bigger though and heavy set with muscle. She is already pretty strong yet is pretty civilised on leash, unless we are walking in the woods and she get a strong scent. Pulled me over a couple of times, but it was icy and going downhill LOL. You we’re lucky with Bear, he looked a beaut. RIP Bear.
  15. Kira is getting bigger. Over 25 kg now and still got a bit to go I reckon as she is only 6 months. IMG_6974.mov
  16. Sorry to hear that.
  17. Perhaps a tree fell from the woodland onto someone's private property. They may have even had a car parked on their drive which was damaged. Not exactly an inconceivable scenario.
  18. Keep your fantasy's to yourself please Gareth. This is supposed to be a family forum
  19. Thanks David, I am keeping well mate, looking forward to the summer. Having searched the Latin I must say Google seems to agree with you. Cheers.
  20. I am aware this looks nothing like a Juniper but trust me, they were on dead branches from a Juniper and not the Rowan you see in the pics
  21. We were working in the woods last week. The woodland is predominantly Spruce and Scotts Pine with a fair few Birch and Hazel and the odd Juniper. There was a fair bit of rain on Tuesday which made all the colours stand out much brighter. One of the tracks back up the steep embankment I spotted this Jelly like fungi on a small Juniper. Once spotted it seemed to be on most of the Juniper in the woods. I looked it up and it seems to be Cedar Rust Fungi but none of the pictures seemed the same. This thing looked almost aquatic or Alien with the orange tendrils. Can any one confirm this ? @David Humphries
  22. I was walking my 6 months old pup the other day. Sometimes when she sees someone or something she just stops like that. She also does it quite a bit in the heat these last few weeks. At the weekend I took her for a walk in the morning, nice and cool in the woods and we were out for about an hour. One the way back we pass along the coast and a few swimming places. So she is tired from the heat and walk and then spots two women swimming in the sea. SO she sits down to watch. It was at that point I noticed that the two women were butt naked, skinny dipping. My dog just didn't want to leave and the ladies were laughing but at the same time wanted to get out as the water isn't quite up to decent temps yet. I ended up having to pretty much drag her away so as not to look like too much of a pervert.
  23. Randomly ? 🤪
