Bombadil

I’m over 60 and have taken to doing more training for general fitness. Got to look after yourself. Drink plenty of water while you work, eat properly afterwards. Also try to pace the workload better than I used to in the past - not big takedowns back to back, or week after week of hedges. I try to schedule an extra day off Friday/Monday if I’m feeling knackered. Countdown is on for retirement in a few years. Trying to get there in a healthy state so I can enjoy it. Wish me luck!

Likewise: can’t remember predicted wind speeds this high. Here is the forecast for Islay, with gusts over 90mph for all Friday daylight hours. Duvet day if you can. 🙈

See the look he gives it in the last second of the video? 🤬

Pine allergy is a thing, like. Years ago, a mate helped me out on a big job taking down some Corsican pine trees. Three days work. Anyway, he was fine after day 1, but started to look a bit odd the next day. When he arrived on day 3 his face was so swollen, he was hardly recognisable. He forgot to mention that he was allergic to the dust, a fact he’d established after having to give up a part-time job in a carpenter’s workshop.

The amount of lichen growing on that makes it difficult to see any actual bark. Could be Ash, though.
