  1. Thanks, The drive is ok, till it gets dark. The twilight is the worst on my old eyes, once it’s properly night it’s easier for me to see. Looking forward to getting back, the dog has missed me!
  2. Heading home to France after the apf and seeing some mates. 4 hr crossing from Newhaven, followed by a 6 hr drive.
  3. Hi, they are Rowan trees. The one that’s browning off is obviously not as good as the one with berries. in preparation for next spring you could try mulching the base. Was there a difference in soil texture between the two planting positions? Otherwise, wait and see, it might be ok.
  4. Wordle 1,188 3/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 2 threes on the bounce!
  5. Dunno, didn’t know there were so many heavy sweaters out there. My climate here in SW France is much hotter than yours in Scotchland. I am mostly arb as opposed to forestry though, so spend most of the day shagging housewives in air conditioned comfort for a grand a day, which helps of course.
  6. All round protection trousers are torture. Just get front protection. Like wearing shorts!
  7. Interesting, do you wear all round protection on your chainsaw trousers?
  8. You’ll sweat less when you get more used to the work! What helmet are you using?
  9. Tub thumping Steve (hopefully) Sending a signal to Russia that Western/central Europe is prepared (or preparing) for the scenario. Bearing in mind the difficulties the Russians are having subduing Ukraine, it’s unlikely they’d move any further west at the moment. Follow me for more geopolitical predictions!
  10. Lovely day ahead (hopefully) Finishing off a 4 day job we had to pull off due to weather last week. Get the loader and chipper back home. Clean out the pick-up ready for Thursday’s drive to Blighty for the APF. Will also have a night in the pub with some old mates. Happy days!
  11. Wordle 1,187 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Impressed myself this morning.
  12. Yes, I was unhappy with that description. What would you suggest?
  13. Quite simply the most effective bit of counter intelligence seen in recent times.
  14. I’m reading batteries or something, all will become clear I guess.
  15. Look like Mossad have pulled off a major coup. Somehow got 1200 of their pagers to Hezbollah officials, packed them with explosive, phoned them up at the same time…
  16. Wordle 1,186 6/6 ⬜🟨🟩⬜⬜ 🟨⬜🟩⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟩🟨🟨 🟨⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That one was a bit of fun.
  17. At least tell us what sort of chipper it is! Post a vid ideally.
  18. Wordle 1,185 6/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  19. Holiday entitlement a big deal here. It really is part of the French DNA to have a break in the summer.
  20. I gave it a rest for a while, then came back. If I don’t feel like it I don’t do it.
  21. Wordle 1,184 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 but a struggle can be fun nevertheless Doug.
  22. Hummingbird hawk moth today.
  23. Understood. Forst chip great, but had/have serious reliability issues.
