  1. Morning, dry here. I got burnt yesterday working over on the Moray coast. Holidays today until Sunday so won’t be signing in. Have a good week.
  2. Morning, local jobs today. Wellingtonia to tidy up, Cappercaillie carvings to mount, some pines to deadwood and the dentist for 3.30pm. dry here so far
  3. Afternoon, up and away early to a Roboflail job, call the customer for directions as it was pretty remote to find out in next Wednesday I’m booked in and they are on holiday! Senior moment! 2 hours of driving and fuel wasted with absolutely no idea how I messed that up.
  4. Morning, dry and suns trying to come out. Last nights monsoon was the best so far, 30 mins of torrential rain. I just got in from work, there had been thunder for an hour before hand. IMG_1369.mov
  5. Morning everyone, dry here just now. Lazy weekend pottering. Hilux is away for a service so I’m having a village day knocking jobs off the list. Doug were you working for Tom? If so that’s my old mog, she turns on a six pence!
  6. Morning, up and away for 5.30am yesterday. Easy day pottering around village today. Gather up some logs and dogs but out at the house!
  7. Morning, lie in here today. Worked late last night to get stuff done before the monsoon. Starting to get heavy now! Log burners going on then dogo to vets for a booster and we Mackies treat then home.
  8. Morning, suns out, got a new digger, need to go! 😂
  9. Morning, dry today they say, rain coming in tonight. Off for some physio then local jobs around the village.
  10. Morning, happy Sunday folks!finaly stopped raining here! A day of not doing very much here.
  11. Morning folks, can’t mind if I signed in much this week, it’s great not being up and away early to a fixed schedule again. Cousins are over from NZ, their coming to stay for the weekend so it’s down the pub tonight for a few drinks and food.
  12. Morning, drizzle damp here. Heading out to cut some grass verges with the Robo. Works came piling in over the last couple of days after a 2 month quiet spell. Used to be the opposite at the start of July.
  13. Morning, drizzle so far. A day of pottering and pricing, sore and stiff from yesterday! First day not sitting in a digger and actually doing physical work yesterday in 2 months.
  14. Morning, drizzle here. Helping with a village bench then subbies turning up at 12pm to work through till 8pm on jobs.
  15. Morning, blowing a stormy and monsoon rain here this morning, typical first day of the school holidays! The kind of rain that wakes you up hitting your bedroom window sideways!
  16. Morning. Last day before the school holidays up here. Blue sky here. Last day of the woodland job I’ve been on, that’s 8 weeks I’ve been subbying to my mate, back to my own work on Monday so hopefully ease off the gas a bit and do some day trips too.
  17. Morning, had a nightmare last night. Topped out a big skinny sycamore then the customer made me a full lunch. It was great, got home and then remembered I hadn’t taken the stem down and removed everything off site so I’ve got that to look forward to when I go to bed tonight! Some blue sky here and not raining for now.
  18. That’s the exact clip I was thinking of!😂
  19. Not signed in for 2 days and not 1 person asked how I was, some neighbours you lot would be! Milk bottles and papers piling up at my front door and not even a how you doing!🤔 I was too excited the last couple of days for work and clean forgot!😂 Robo yesterday and big time forwarder operator today! 25 degrees yesterday, monsoon here since 2pm and still going!
  20. Got back to the trailer yesterday to get her steam cleaned and a new tipping pipe. Got all the brakes oiled, greased and freed off. Hopefully get her painted over the next couple of weeks.
  21. Happy Saturday folks, longest lie in 2 months, it was the latest night to be fare, 11pm I believe! Dry with some blue sky on the way. Going to steam clean the new to me mog trailer and get some hoses and gremlins fixed. Have a good day.
