As with a lot of areas, it has been somewhat warm as of late. It's now a little damp but not a that cold. Still T-shirt weather but u doubt with all the recent rain, that I'll need to water the garden for the next 2-3days.

Where can I get one of those trees?

About the same as yesterday temp. wise but it's drizzling. Cat isn't outside today.

Just right - not too cold, not too hot, no comforting rain and not merciless sun. But did have to water garden. Cat enjoyed the day.

Lovely stacking and the grain's not bad either.

Very nice. Oh to be on the water.

Stayed up late to hear-watch Deadmau5 on TV. Glad I did.

Sunny and looks to be a very hot day. So just off to give the acers their morning soak. Then it a few hours of splitting rounds.

Very handy for when the going gets tough. 3120's chain tensioner is at the front, whereas the 880's tensioner is on the side. If money is no problem, the 880 has a few more cc and a little more grunt. Where milling is concerned, more is better/quicker. Both drink fuel & oil when milling but that's chainsaw milling for you. Both are tried, tested and well liked saws.

... with a piston, pot, muffler, bar, chain, tanks, carb, filters, small end, big end, crank, clutch, et all.

Warm and sunny, well it was.

Have a gander through Endless River: http://www.endlessriver.co.uk or Brookbank Canies Either will have what you'll need. Though Brookbank have the actual kayaks, canoes, SOTs (sit on tops), inflatables. Get yourself: • BA/PFD, (buoyancy aid / personal floatation device) each • a double paddle (kayak style) or single paddle/s (canoe style) • short length of floating rope, say 5m. This should sort you for mooring at the pub or bank side for grub time. Plus it comes in handy for towing along the bang or in shallow water. • a roll-top bag, big enough for your sarnies, a change of dry clothes, small/travel towel, small 1st aid kit, a few winds of duct tape • small roll-top bag or waterproof, (not water resistant) container for car keys, wallet/card and mobile. Always carry your keys, wallet & mobile on your person. As you may get separated from your boat. Notes: With the roll-top sacs, you need to be able to roll then over 4-5 turns to be waterproof. After you've loaded the bag/sac. Clip it into a gear loop/point on the craft. Some choose to clip the sac to the craft via a short length of shock cord. So if/when a capsize occurs, you're not trying to right you boat and you gear. But your gear isn't going to float away. When choosing a BA/PFD, it's preferable to get one with pockets. So you can securely store your bagged keys, etc. And they won't get in the way when your paddling. Also, choose one that fits well. So not restrictive to movement but not so loose that it could lift up off the wearer when they're in the water. This is especially important for a young child or non-swimmer. Things to bear in mind about BA/PFDs, are that they're designed to bring a swimmer to the surface and keep them there. But they are not designed to float a swimmer face-up. So if the swimmer is unconscious and face-down, they'll either need help or will drown. A life-jacket will float a swimmer face-up but can be awkward to swim in and or re-enter the boat/craft once inflated. Though if a young child is not going to paddle, a life-jacket would be the thing to get. Life-jackets that are auto inflating, do so when a tablet dissolves in water on submersion, opening the gas canister's release valve. Once they're inflated, that's it. If you then deflate them, they'll not re-inflate until you fit another tab+canister. Self inflating life-jackets are not suitable for paddling. You can get 'rescue' BA/PFDs, which have the most buoyancy. But if you're not performing rescues on a regular basis, you'll not need one. A they're expensive and B the extra buoyancy will get in the way of casual recreational paddling. It's up to personal choice for footwear. But you're bound to get your feet wet at launching/landing. So sandles or Crocs or similar would be a good addition. Wooden paddles feel and look the part but plastic paddles are great for pushing off the bottom/banks/jetty and will take a hammering. Both wooden and plastic will last years, if you look after them. If you paddle moving water and that doesn't have to be whitewater. and you capsize. Keep hold of your paddle/s. If you can keep he of you boat too, that's a plus. But if it's one or the other, choose the paddle/s. A kayak/canoe/SOT/inflatable, (each are commonly referred to as a boat) will usually wash-up downstream in an eddy. Usually on the opposite bank but that over comeable. But paddles disappear, never to be seen again. Paddles even basic paddles, are often harder to choose than the the boat. Whereas a boat is one size fits all and this is not strictly true. A paddle us personal. Too long and it's unwieldy. Too short and you'll be scraping your thumb on the hull with every stroke. Just right and you'll be utilising the least amount of energy for the most efficient paddling. If you want more info, just ask.

If you've not got much storage or only have a small vehicle to get to the water, they're the ticket to a lot of fun. Get yourself a collapsible trolley, something like this [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000NTZ2TM/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1435607512&sr=8-3π=AC_SY200_QL40&keywords=collapsible+trolley&dpPl=1&dpID=31H%2BDkK-t%2BL&ref=plSrch]Rolson 42513 45kg Mini Folding Hand Truck:Amazon.co.uk:DIY & Tools@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71AsdegLjIL.@@AMEPARAM@@71AsdegLjIL[/ame] , for transporting to 'n' fro the water, as they're not light. Try not to drag them over gravel or sharp rocks. Though you can get repair patches for them.

You'll have to pick one that's well heeled and has bags of go. But also doesn't consume a lots, while at the same time being richly rewarding and tasteful. Whatever you choose. Don't get her an old kettle or iron.

Not sure there's enough orange in that photo.

Try uninstalling & re-installing the app.

All of the above might reasonably happen in Spain too. Only the driver would be taking to a friend walking level with the cab.

Potential of serious injury if the child were to fall from somewhere near the top, even into the crash mat is high. However, that does not detract from the smile it put in my face, watching a climber starting out on a pastime, that has given me some of my most enjoyable days.

Thermal mass stoves/heaters work best where a slow release of warmth is required over a long period, several hours to overnight. And is mainly dependant on: • the total size of the thermal mass • time taken to heat it to final temp. • final temperature attained at end of heating • exchange of heat from thermal mass to air, liquid, other surfaces Thermal mass works best where warmth is needed at a steady rate and at a lower operating temp., than that supplied by a boiler with rads system. Thermal mass heaters don't so much heat a space making you warm. They tend to keep the chill from a space, so you don't get cold. So such a heater coupled with a swimming pool may help to prevent the water dipping below a certain temp. but won't really do much to 'heat' that amount of water. Plus such will be the draw of heat from thermal mass to water, that the mass may well have to be constantly heated. So any savings may be minimal.

My cutting isn't forestry as such, so 15" on 7 is a happy medium. But if I was cutting softwood of one (known) size, day in day out. I'd change to 13" on 8.

Sheesh! So much for after sales service.

Always used a long allen key or screwdriver. Does the same job though.

Lovely figuring on that - thought it was a nose before reading on.

IOS - Met Office Windows - Met Office, XC Weather (meant for hang-gliding but gives great wind & precipitation forecasts), Felltop (LD)

That's one way of getting through a lot of bars and sprockets.
