Morning, up and out to do a wee village favour for the community orchard. Blue skys here and getting warmer.

Morning, cold yesterday and rain on and off. We had a firewood day and used the new splitter for the first time, really impressed. We’ve changed from chainsaw - log processor to now big splitter, billets and the new circular auto saw with conveyor should be here Friday. We still have some light manual handling but this should be a better way for all of us in our firewood sindicate as we are getting older. IMG_4945.mov

Usually just to the side of the boom, it’s just a wee valve lever. The Yanmar are under the dead man lever on the floor under a plastic blank though just to be awkward. Dan I pinky promise I never got out the cab for slab stacking and the broken 1 was already broken.

Morning, managed to sleep till after 8am this morning, like most I bet in here that is a rare thing. Drove back up the rd yesterday in 24 degrees of sunshine, it was great to feel the warmth. Lazy day here, breakfast, grass cutting, dentist then a wee Maccy D trip to Inverness with my good lady, she’s due a spoiling!

Started tidying up round my mates place yesterday and this morning, and I remember my mate planting the willows thinking they’ll be a good screen.

Aye I rack up the miles. Did about 1000 miles the other week. But I don’t pick conifers hedges cuttings out of flower beds or off gravel anymore so sitting in a nice Hilux looking at countryside isn’t a bad swap. Finished my cut n fill job yesterday I’ve been picking away at.

Bought another 1 Doobin. I’ve 2 yards, 180 miles apart and got fed up dragging it up and down the rd. so this is the up north digger and the other 2 are Ayrshire diggers now. Arb spec = twin lines, guarding and a grab I reckon.

Morning folks, I braved the rain on Saturday like a proper tough tree cutter! Then drove home. A week away in a caravan with no power was the driving force to sacking off Saturday 😂. So I’ve bought an extension cable to add to my too short cable so should be warn next time. Yesterday was cracking here, dog walks and Sunday pottering. Wee bit drizzle just now but mild, off for some domestic blitzes, but first! Diner breakfast. Enjoy.

Morning! Wild night of wind and rain! Couple of domestic jobs today. Breakfast then decide if it’s worth getting soaked over!

Afternoon, had a long lie till 8.30am, walked to the shop for milk and black pudding, returned home to find youngest teenage son had eaten my last roll and the bread. So sugar puffs, washing on the line then went for bread to have the correct type of breakfast. Cracking day again. Off till Sunday now, heading to Edinburgh to a wedding. Have a good day folks.
