Morning, we have around 8’’-10’’ of snow lying but the roads are gritted, everything’s just a little harder in the cold. Trailer hitches frozen, ratchet straps frozen, handles of container doors come off in your hand so you need to open it now with a shovel 😂. started a council job yesterday, monolothing some big beeches and sweet chestnut. have a good day.

Afternoon. No more snow and -2 here so that’s good, there’s that much snow there’s no way it will melt quick without freezing again. I hate cold feet! I stopped winter mountain biking because of it. A link to said tow warmers would be good! the wee ones nearly 5 weeks old. I’m back to work tomorrow. My arms feel like pencils and the sleep deprivation has left me like a walking zombie! 😂 going to have my first night in a bed right through tonight so hopefully that will charge my batteries!

Morning!

Morning, 0 degrees. Got out to do a few hours work helping a mate out yesterday and doing the same today. The village is a sheet of ice after we had a -8 to zero and back to freezing on Boxing Day. Did it again the other night.
-
My finest reduction yet.
-
Evening gents, hope everyone’s well. -7 at night, around 0 through the day today, misty and slippy! The wee one is 4 weeks old tomorrow.
-
Merry Xmas everyone! -6 here. Hope everyone has a good day.
-
Morning, -2 here. I thought it was Tuesday! 😂
-
Cold and frosty here. Eldest is coming home for Xmas and some jobs to look at after the Big Shop.
-
Morning gents, a fine crisp weekend here, blue sky and the feeling of winter. I got a good nights sleep last night, breakfast and a walk up the river with the dog. Now back to wrap my boys presents and maybe even string some lights up on the front of the house.
-
Morning gents, monsoon here! Has been all night. I know because my night shift started at 1am 😂.
-
Morning, sorry to hear about your mate Stubby. i went back to work yesterday after 2 weeks of basically living and sleeping on the couch , it didn’t take long before I seized up and twanged something in the back of my leg , 😂. Went to bed at 8pm, started my baby night shift at 4am, fed and she went back to sleep at 5am. Luckily my nephews out grounding today and shifting the timber so I’ll point at stuff when I go in at 9am.

Morning gents! That’s the wee 1 2 weeks old now, last night was her first proper feed and back to sleep night so I’m off to work today locally. Windy and rain blustering through.
-
Clam shell inspiration! I’ve never thought of that before!
-
afternoon guys, wet, windy, blue sky all in 1 here! really stormy last night! we have a routine now, im on the 3am onwards. Wee one is settling better so managing to get an hour or so sleep in between then and 7am. She's doing great so thats the main thing.

It would be easier but it’s what equipment is available and how it works. The shears are fixed in place with 3-4 big bolts and nuts. So taking on and off is a pita. Larger shears for larger machines are available with retractable shears on a button but Ive never 1 for the mini diggers. Hopefully wrong!
-
Morning, good nights sleep here. Awoke fresh at 5am which 2 weeks ago would have been a crazy thing to say for me! Going to do some chores, swap some attachments then meet the boys then taking the wee 1 for her hearing check. Dry and mild here. Have a good 1.
-
Totally agree, my boys are 20 and 17 now and had breathing problems for the first few years of their life’s so slept on edge!
-
blue Skys here then passing heavy showers, boys have a dead wood job in a sheltered woodland with coffee and warmth every 1.5 hours. needs must! I was a zombie yesterday but back feeling energised today.
-
Morning! 😴😂
-
Morning guys. Dry here after a lot of rain last night. Forecast is snow all week here. Heading off to register the wee 1 this morning.
-
Evening, I did plan on signing in at 3.30am but was busy with the wee 1. She’s sleeping 3-4 hours so only really 1 change and feed. Strange how quick you adapt. I’ve been awake 3.30am - 10.30pm a few nights in a row now and getting out a walk too. Wouldn’t like to be climbing, grafting or doing anything to strenuous though!
-
Morning chaps, my shift started at 3.30am this morning. First change, nappy, feed, wind, burp, rage, swaddle back to sleep. Tea and biscuits now.
