i met mr sheen, his name is mark walters, or wally to most. gentleman. he appeared the minute the saws started. he has just bought a new bike, his health hasnt been too good, had a couple of strokes, but ok, he now does survey work with the commision, so getting fitter. he measured a spruce the other day that was 54m high, up loch avich. never made poltalich, it is amazing though, havent been there for years. i have made good friends with the guy i was working with so will be taking up the kids for a weekend of exploring.

a dead elm landed in the field next to my yard, covered in ivy, the sheep stripped it bare in about an hour, they are all fine. maybe replant with rosemary, then eat the sheep. yum yum

a few years ago we had a sudden drop of snow in february, about 8 inches over night. the next day i went for a nosy, there was broken stuff everywhere, i have never doorstepped anyone before because i think that is wrong, but i was quiet and i thought if my pipes had just burst in the house then 2 secs later a plumber chapped the door, it would seem like a miracle. the first door i knocked the door opened and the woman had the phonebook open looking for my number, she was delighted. i got 2k out the one street.:001_smile:as long as you dont intimidate, then go look for work.

speeches first, just say the wifey bit, and say thankyou. its the best mans job to be funny. relax and enjoy the day, champagne and magners. i loved my wedding. we did it over a weekend. 50 guests, 20 kids, hotel to ourselves in the middle of no where. my only stippulation was bacon rolls at midnight and plenty of tommy sauce, went down a treat
-
cheers guys, where do you get them for 3.50 a bag.?
-
after looking at it again i dont think he is underneath.
-
dont want to be critical of someones work, just curious how others do it, i hate being underneath, especially on the d rings, sore on my hips, i would of went topside, but i reckon he is that side so he can throw the logs forward rather than over his shoulder. looks pretty wobbly.
-
not being critical mate, but dont you find it harder working under the limb rather on top, or is it a funnier angle than it looks
-
i keep putting my replies in the wrong bit, working tomorrow weather permitting, but if wet will be going to the cinema with my eldest boy (3 and a half) for sweets and popcorn
