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?
-
Made it onto AC Price Calender.
-
That’s such a cool truck! Tree shear and mulching an access track for a comms tower yesterday as there were complaints about wing mirrors. They’ll not need to worry about that for a few years now.
-
Morning, hard frost came in last night but by the looks of it that’s gone this morning. Digging out a septic tank overflow soak away that’s not working for a mate today. Fingers crossed for no splash back! Have a good day guys.
-
Morning, cold and crisp here. Dry though. Some tree shearing and mulching if the digger gets moved today. The sides of a track up to a comms tower. Have a good day guys.
-
Morning, monsoon here since 6am. It’s bouncing! Rain before 7, gone by 11! Hopefully. Quick site meeting at 8.30am, then it’s gather up machinery and swap stuff about and then a couple of birches to winch over in the afternoon if the mood takes me.
-
Morning, snow is melting away here but still cold. A day of staying warm and rest for me. Enjoy your day
-
Morning, blue sky and about zero I think, it was melting through the night so it’s going to be slippy. A morning dog walking and eating then off too my great nephews 2nd birthday party. Have a good 1.
-
Hedgecutting did me in I reckon before I even got my hands on a saw. Climbing in the sub zero with ice and snow in the trees is tough to work through. It’s just miserable, the chipper exhaust, digger exhaust close by makes a difference to just keep heating and drying. The robo too. Yesterday was -8 but dry, I didn’t need gloves until we got onto some Sitka for the jaggies, but Wednesday with snow and sleet it was miserable.
-
Cold or warm we always turn up, good kit, good guys, good attitude and get it done!👍
-
Morning, nice 1 Doug! You had me at cafe! Mick fare play to still climbing! -7 I think outside, blitzed through my felling job yesterday in the snow so a day of village jobs getting knocked off the list then the dentist at 3.30pm. Have a good day guys.
