    dropped my silky:blushing: while pruning lastweek, had nothing to throw at the groundy and couldn't shout loud enough.. he was wearing new chippermuffs with radio on underneath while feeding chipper, usually he glances up every minute or so but not that time.. wish i'd had a cuppa for the wait.. guess i could have nipped down but with last few cuts left then end of the job it was easier to wait:biggrin: maybe i need a loud whistle?

    we had a nice little old lady make us tea last month then gave us choccie biccies followed by another tea 2mins later as she was going out..! we weren't even working for her, we were in the next garden..!

    i'd probably recommend clipping it an inch or two less, looks too closely trimmed to me.. give it a bit of growing space to thicken back up and maintain at new size, Ed.

    even the backbody doesn't leak on the 110, it had 4inch of rainwater in it after last weekend.. i once put a tarp liner in my vauxhall brava and filled it with water (had to put an axlestand under the towbar) left it all day in the sun on a very hot day and by 4pm was nice and warm, mmm cheap pool, nice till the dog joined in then there were dog hairs everywhere.. flooded the garden when i opened the tailgate too:blushing: its a picture thread so i should post a pic..

    leaks? my three dont leak, apart from water getting in but thats me either leaving windows open or missing glass.. funny how all my old jap pickups only stopped leaking when all the oil had run out..

    always thought grafting could be a way to let the mischievous inner beast have its fun, for example whilst pruning a tree you could pop a graft somewhere in the crown to have a branch flowering/fruiting differently to the rest.. maybe a weeping ash graft onto a tall skinny ash? i have no idea exactly how its done but one day i will. :aetsch:muahaha.. did hear ages ago the most different grafts on one tree is over 100.!

    they all get stomped by me, dont care if i have bare feet, they arent going to get away to scare me ever again.. or if they are on the wall i use the womans trainers (haix are too awkward) and leave them stuck to the wall to ward off evil comer-in spiders..
