The further you get away the less whacking power they have! 😂. So someone told me, never done anything like that before 🤔
-
Morning, heavy rain through the night, blue sky now so hopefully it’s stays. Certainly colder now.
-
Very nice tying the hinge into the buttress root like that! That’s some strong stringy wood in there!
-
Todays day off started well until I felt some lengths of timber were in the wrong place from my hedge removal, so 1 hour later I had removed a gate and fence, re positioned 3 of my carvings, shifted some rocks about and more importantly, the timber is still in the same place.

Morning guys, strong gusts of wind this morning and blue sky.

Morning.

Morning, nice morning here. 26 degrees in the village yesterday while 15 miles over the moor it was mist annd 15 degrees all day at a timber festival I had a stand at, really nice relaxed place. Spent all day letting kids drive the Robo flail about the show field. Heading back over at 9am for another day of it.

This hedge?

Good point, I retract all mention of stump removal. The chances of me being sidetracked from the stumps are pretty high so I probably jumped the gun a bit and now I think of it, I had planned my pottering! So no way that’s pottering, I’m now questioning my life!
-
Morning guys, Doug I don’t miss those days! This morning it’s Smirry, not mist, not drizzle but a bit of inbetweeen. Digging out my stumps today, removing rest of the hedge then stumps and get ready for a show this weekend.

2nd place at the British open 2017, carved by Tim Burgess. I bought first place last week to go beside the 2017 first place.

Sat down for 1 of my other breakfasts earlier and decided I’d had enough of my conny hedge, so removed that, then got told about a box full of cakes along the rd, then went to get fencing panels and came back and started de mossing my roof but got bored of that slow process. Went and took the larch out a boggy bit of ground with the digger as a village favour then been back eating more cake.

Morning guys, blue sky just now after a wet day yesterday. Got some larch to extract from our local village orchard to make some seats.

This is the British Olympic Team of Pottering. Always started with a boring day ahead and a meet up for a cuppa!

What did you originally start doing and what should you be doing instead?
-
That’s the good living Pete! I’ve heard it’s agony! Have a salad mate!
-
Morning, we got 50mm of rain yesterday. Blue sky and dry now. 3 hour drive to go and sort out some Beaver Damage before it takes out some SEPA infrastructure.
-
What were you meant to be doing? Something else like take out the wheels bin. And was the use of the tractor complete overkill to amateurs but standard practice and the norm for yourself? If so, pottering !

Great weekend effort guys, the way the thread didn’t really stay on track was very in keeping with the whole point of pottering, bumbling and general standing in the shed with slippers on, an oily rag and iPhone with torch because you never got round to getting proper lights and electrics. I bought a £1300 generator that now has a flat battery so I then bought a battery jump start kit for the generator to power my container that is 12’ from the house which now has an extension cable dangling out a window I’ve now got the fear using in case I burn my house down.

Morning, bit of rain just now. Chores and pricing this. Ironing then I’ll go walk the dog in the afternoon.
-
Morning, blue sky’s here. Off to tidy up the field after our Carve day yesterday IMG_1955.mov
-
Right guys, I don’t want my Pottering thread lost in time because you are all too busy pottering when you were about to reply to this! Weekends here, on your marks, get set go!
-
Morning Pete, hope there’s been no more wobbly beer tables for you! Village carve this weekend, busy day yesterday setting up. Suns out, blue skys so should be a good day.

Morning!
