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.

Keep busy! Eat well and don’t drink alcohol. structure and routine is boring and hard but soon becomes routine, keeps your brain busy although some crazy thoughts can still come in just let them pass on through. if you know what’s caused you to get down, get yourself to some therapy. Minimise screen time too. Think of something you used to love doing as a kid. Go walk down the road and get a truck to honk its horn, seek out some dopamine. just things that have always helped me through some tough times.

Sub 3t would be big enough. shear it first then just pull root out with just the pinser ends.

Evening ! Mornings are a haze just now 😂

Morning guys! No idea what weathers doing! 😂 mum and baby home yesterday! Twins!! I can’t imagine! 😂😎 we’re just finding our feet, we both have older kids so we should have black belts in this but it’s like doing it for the first time again. Baby’s well!
-
Early morning for me here, never got a chance to sign in yesterday. My daughter was born, she arrived safe and well Via C section, mum and baby doing well resting in the ward while I came home for some sleep. Oh and it’s a barmy 7 degrees so a nice drive home last night. I while new chapter for me ahead, less work more family time.

Morning, we’ve still got some snow on the ground and it must be around zero. Hope your kids get well soon Markie. A potter day for me, I’ll go walk the dog and see what comes up. Enjoy!
-
Morning, it snowed last night but seems to be melting a bit. A lazy Sunday here. Have a good day guys
-
Gloria has the 14hp engine, I’ll never speak of her in past tense! 😢😂
-
Dry and frosty here. 0 degrees. Heading out a walk. Easy day ahead.
-
That’s the best compliment I’ve ever had! 😂😎

I had a Greenmech wee chipper, I loved it. If I had the Jo beau I’d of loved that too. If 2 camps argue and defend their favoured brand as much as we all do then they are both good machines. I’ve never heard a bad word about them tbh. A great investment if you do domestic tree work.
-
Happy late birthday Maybe! 66 in tree work is surely about 109 in office job years. Well done! A wild night here, still blowing hard. The rain has stopped thankfully. A day of pottering again for me, got loads of chores and maintenance done yesterday. I’m always nervy when it’s windy, you lot must be the same, my nervous system is trained to be ready for action 😂
-
Morning, rest well Mick! Mild here too, word is it’s to be 12 degrees today. That should shift the last of the village ice hopefully. That’s me pretty much off now till new year, got some wee chores to do, and I’ll get steam cleaner back from the work shop so everything’s getting a good wash down. Have a good day.

Sure is, did you used to live locally?
