Saw a house Martin/Swallow about the front door on Mon 4th April at 06:15, still near dark too (dark enough I first thought Bat) , but def a Swallow or House Martin. They might just have cause to regret their early arrival with our current weekend forecast!

We run a bigger Grillo, a FD1500, this 10 years or so, conceptually a good design, there were certain design flaws in earlier models though, impellor too soft steel and near impossible to extraciate to replace, design and make-up of which was then totally revised, lack of grease nipples on the hi-lift mechanism/linkage, shitty painted mild steel mesh in the collector box, needed to be stainless or galv, but otherwise a sound compact design, with a Kubota engine and reliable hydraulics. I am considering replacing with a Grillo FD 2200, or equil JD or Kubota. Not a popular brand here in NI, since the dealer has been desperately trying to flog me an demo/unsold/unsellable FD1100, this past 18 months. m

Update (i) Mucho frogspawn (ii) A Duck egg resting on the weeds, no nest to be seen, guessing a young inexperience duck dropped an egg by accident? while prospecting for a nest site. (iii) No fish, yet.

A local landscaper (who already runs an Avant) was admiring our 640 cleaning our pavoir surfaced caravan bays with the rotary wire brush. They then merely require "rinsing" with a pressure washer, and come up like new. A very slick cost effective operation. The ability to easily get into the back corners was what really appealed to him. m

Tell me More! Being from NI where any&all air rifles are held on a FAC. The 12ftlb is not applicable So I had homed in on the HW 80, as supposedly being origionally designed and engineered to shoot .22 at about 18ft lbs, with a larger dia piston, larger swept volume etc etc. so other than being a heavy lump of a man sized air rifle? Any other comments? I want a Springer (harking back to my adolescent years) and fancy .22 since the .177 pellets are so dammned fiddly with my poor eyesight:lol: I Already got a PCP in .177 btw

I gave up on tarpaulins, simply windy up here in the NW, based on 20 years experience. Some sort/any sort of frame and tin sheeting, however rough, & significently maximize cover by fitting sheets upside down and NOT overlapping, even leaving about a 15 to 20mm gap between the upturned edges to encourage ventilation. Surprisingly Insignificent amounts of rain will penetrate btw. OR I found that if I stacked the billet bundles 4 or 5 high, only a portion of the top row got wet enough to matter, and if set aside for a few days even they too dried enough, or simply leave them out another year, lower in the stack. But in this respect the wind is my friend, not my tarpaulin shredding enemy. marcus

Just to add, the last 6 billet bundles (at 1.0m long) I cut to length in the comfort of the dry shed, were (i) Still remarkedly tight in their Polywotsit strapping (tensioned with the hand held tool) (ii) Despite being tight, i was easily able to spring the strapping over the ends of a billet or 2 then wriggle it/them free, thereby "loosing" the bundle without cutting the strapping! I do be a trifle "anal-retentive" in my bundling operation though, but time well spent to ensure sturdy, easily handled bundles. So can at least re-use once, albeit for smaller dia bundles. cheers M

Uncle Arthur Morton had a "recipce" for cooking some otherwise unpalatable freshwater fish between Elm boards, with various herbs and other palaver, over a long cooking period. Gist was then dump the fish and eat the boards boom boom!

tsk tsk u = uninformed, cos see, I recognise some of my limitations:001_tt2: Anyway how could it mean unbiased, since that is patently impossible in respect of a statement about ones self preceptions? And no not even Viking build brick shite-house quality ride on mowers:001_tt2: PS The Huskquy rep admitted their strimmer fuel tanks had a habit of splitting in the past. He also explained their recent and very simple model numbering system. Which even I kin now ken (understand, ye ken) Methinks someone has got a "grip" at HUSQVARNA.

Cos ah wuz at a husky open day/demo today:001_tt2: Absolutly ogling yon big Kubota engined out front Husqy mower, built like a brick shite-house, pity about the £18,000.00 list/£15,000.00 actual cost though(plus VAT mind) Apparently it is NOT designed to cut cast iron manhole covers, so no good for some of my operators. Also some seriously sexy well engineered(imhuo) battery powered stuff. And thats from a dyed in the blood Stihl man (but Husquy now got seriously lower vibration figures) sigh

Funny enough, despite a v sound marriage, good weans 'n sound finances, I am only now, at going on 57, started to peek over the parapet again. Ye Haw! Perhaps a recent medical which revealed a cholestrol level of 10.75 focussed my mind! I now intend to live a little before I die a lot. m
