Morning all, Grey here, rain likely. Taking the leaking radiator out of the series 3 LR ready for fitting new one when it arrives next week. Not a lot else planned. Have a good weekend.

Morning Doug and all, Grey and dry here. Some years ago I was asked to take down a tree along our lane. The customer had asked the farmer if they could take down his tree that was badly overhanging their garden from the field. The farmer has agreed, according to the customer. We were setting up on the morning when the farmer came along and asked how much we were taking off the tree. When I said we had been asked to take it down he said we could only prune it because "he didn't like living things being killed". I felt like asking him "what about all your lambs then?", but there was no point. Happy Friday

Morning all, Main man on hols for a week, so taking it steady. Chipper blade changes etc, mowing at home today. Be good, be safe.

Morning all, Cloudy and bright here. Small local job then a bit more log splitting.

Morning all, Blue sky and cool here. Sharpening chains, office work, splitting logs. Have a good week.

Morning all, Grey here. Just lazing about today, then quiet week ahead. Work quieter than it’s been for a long time.

Morning all, Much needed rain has arrived. Crossword done, second coffee on the brew then back to bed with a good book. I’m working through a series of whodunnits by a local historian, set in the Edwardian era. Fascinating learning the history of Leek, our local market town. Happy second Saturday!

Couldn't agree more. Once we had given up with chickens some friends kept theirs at our place. The Light Sussex cockerel was vile, always attacking me from behind when I walked through the paddock. Our eldest used to carry a spade when going through the paddock. I told him to whack the beast if need be. Eventually the owners killed him off (the cockerel, not my son).

Morning all, Another sunny start to the day. Doing a quote this morning then chillaxing. Have a good weekend.

Morning all, Yet another lovely morning here. Mowing at home and just pottering. Hove a good break Pete, and a good long weekend to all.

Morning all, Beautiful morning here. Finished the job yesterday with all BT cables intact. The rotten pole wobbled alarmingly when one or two bits clipped the cables. Small job today then 4 days off for the weary bones to recover. Have a good day all.

Morning all, Weather looks good. Back to sycamore and BT cables, should be the last day hopefully.

Slight derail here, but relevant. I have a job booked in to crown raise a copper beech. It is overhanging the customer's garden from the owner's side, and the customer had a ceramic tiled patio built under the tree, and put a greenhouse on it as well. The wood pigeons poop from above on the customer and his wife when they are sitting on the patio. There was room to build it in the other corner of the garden. Why not put it away from the tree?

Sorry to hear this. It is so frustrating when the mind still wants to do something, and knows how, and plenty of experience, but the body says no.

Morning all, Forecast sunny, dry and minimal wind. Just as well as day 2 mewp dismantling over what is in fact 8 BT cables on a rotten pole.
