Morning all, Sorry to hear about the yard theft Doug. Some real scum bags out there. On a brighter note, have a good Christmas everyone, and hopefully 2025 can be a better year for the world.

Morning all, Been given my kitchen duties for today by the boss. I find the trouble with making cheese sauce is I have to keep testing it frequently. Mind you, I even test the cauliflower when it is raw. Keeps the M1 southbound moving!

Morning all, Blue sky alternating with sleet and snow here. Crazy but true.

Morning all, Shortest day today, more daylight soon.

Hopefully to a paying customer, rather than a giveaway? I manage to sell all of my deciduous chip, even it it waits in the yard for months.

Nothing on the horizon for the other knee, though I agree about mostly in pairs. Mine was due to an old fashioned cartilage removal aged 13, before arthroscopy existed. This cured the problem of a torn cartilage with a congenital cyst in it, but the price being premature osteoarthritis that started years ago.

Morning all, Saw physio yesterday and he was really please with progress. I was amazed to say the least when he said I can gradually start work, even a bit of gentle climbing. Need to avoid putting significant rotation through new knee, long term. I shall take it very carefully and it will be a while before doing a full day. Best early Christmas present I could ask for. Those painful exercises are worthwhile. Happy Christmas all.

Makes me wonder if there will be a role for rebuliding/reconditioning the older chippers.

Morning all, Not been out yet but it chucked it down most of the night. Heating on and stay inside methinks.

Morning all, Blowy here too. Be good if it dislodged a large hung up pine I quoted for yesterday. Spiral crack at the base, wood building close by. Stay safe.

Morning all, Dry and 9 degrees here. Off to look at a job then into the shed to change some chipper blades. Goodbye cabin fever. Stay safe all.

😂😂

Morning all, Dry day here and more walking to do. Only 9 days until I can go back on the road now😀. Be good, have fun.

Morning all, Mild and dry here, ideal for a bit more walking. Not preaching at all Doug. Hope the memory settles down soon for you. We need reminding about the nature of our work, so we don't get complacent. I love it when customers realise how much they have underestimated disposal of arisings.

I used to pull them out by hand without gloves in fact, and only stopped doing this when my wife said my hands were too rough.
