Morning all, Nice blue sky here. Have a good weekend when it gets here.

Morning all, Grey, drizzly and humid. Getting less humid later. Laurel and conifer trimming today. Be good, be safe.

Morning all, Dry with max of 20 degrees here. Sounds good to me.

Morning all, Decent day here. Nice sycamore dismantle today, just hope the customer has sorted out all the neighbours' parking as requested.

Morning all, Nice easy day cutting back woody shrubs to 4-5ft above ground, for a nice customer. Have a good day y'all.

Morning all, Lazy day with family home. Four have gone off to do a 5 mile run (crazy people), while I get brunch sorted. Looking like a dry week ahead.

Belated morning all, Office work in the cool indoors, then early start to weekend. Struggled with the heat last two days, we have have any lead in to acclimatise to it.

Morning all, Hedgework today. Not used to this heat! Felt drained by it yesterday, even though only using mewp.

Morning all, Blue sky and dry here. Pruning a large cherry tree today, thankfully I can get the mewp into the back garden to do it.

Morning all, Supertramp summed it up. It's raining again tra la la la. Cutting back overgrown garden today, think I'll put waterproofs on.

As we all know you get a surprise every so often. I was once trying to winch out a six inch max diameter laurel stump, and I was on firm dry tarmac, the sort with nice sharp stones laid on wet tar, not smooth shiny stuff. Could not believe it when foot on the footbrake, pull with winch, and "Sheila" as I called her moved and laurel stayed put! But yes, the winch was quite useful occasionally. Still find use for the PTO winch on my series 3. That's my old mewp in the background, served me well for years.

For any eagle eyed Renault Dodge afficionados, yes it is a mark 1 vehicle, but with the later mark 2 cab fitted. The original cab was a double cab with a lot of rot. I managed to pick up an ex military mk 2 cab, in sand coloured paint, absolutely rot free.

I had this Reynolds Boughton for some years. She eventually went via ebay to a sheep station on the Falklands Islands. Did about 12mpg when chip box full.

The father in law is 100 per cent in the wrong. Just tell them you are not doing any more until they can all respect your rules. I think if you just said you were not doing any more under any circumstances that would still be perfectly reasonable. I could use many words to describe my thoughts on this idiot, but nobody else has particularly lowered the tone of the thread so far, so I won't do so either!

Morning all, Dry here till this afternoon. Late start for a small job. Got to wait until after school run and the on street parkers have gone to wok in next village along from me as very tight access into customer's drive. No room for chipper, thank goodness it is only a small weeping ash. Any weeping ash is bad enough for dismantling.
