Morning all, Off to collect a giveaway floor mounted pillar drill then just pottering about. I agree entirely with the sentiments of where did stiff upper lip go, only to be replaced by mass bosom heaving public emotion. Rant over.

Morning all, Throwing it down here. Regarding feeling stiff Mick I know the feeling. My problem is the more I take the option of getting the young lad in to do the bigger stuff the more I take the easy option and risk losing some ability. Especially if the mewp can access the tree! At least with our youngest being 32 we don’t have nappies to change. Have a good weekend all.

Sorry to hear you are feeling so low Les. As others have said, you have made the first step by realising what is going on, opening up about it, and seeking help. I had a fairly severe depression 25yrs ago when I was still a full time GP. I certainly had suicidal thoughts, and I remember one day imagining our three young children and my wife at my funeral. The thought of this stopped me doing anything. I found that medication and seeing a good counsellor helped no end. Over the years I have tried to come off the medication but have concluded that I need to stay on it permanently. If you find that you just can't concentrate/think straight don't think you are dementing etc - with significant depression your whole mental functioning slows down, sleep disturbance, irritability etc until you are beginning to pick up. I hope that with the right help you are soon feeling better. Best wishes, Charles

Morning all, Got up at 4am for a pee and it was so bright from the moon I checked the clock again. Pottering around today. Happy Friday.
-
Morning all, Rain here. Looking at a poplar with some younger lads who I help from time to time. Then site meeting with council rep at conservation site. After that too late to start a job/good excuse if its raining.
-
Morning all, Congratulations Steve. No frost, and sunshine due later.
-
Morning all, Next couple of days look dry and sunny. Amen to that.
-
Morning all, Going to get PWT today I think. The thread would not show in today's posts either on my phone or laptop, had to search for it. Anyone found that?
-
Morning all, Lazy day here other than perhaps trying to allocate days to jobs for new year. Plenty booked in to allocate but have to build in flexibility for the weather. Not every customer can cope with a call the night before to say we are coming at 8 tomorrow. Happy Sunday
-
Morning all, Wet here too. Got to take the mewp to a local site before Monday. I have to reverse the trailer and chipper from a school car park to the job site. Not something to try when all the staff are trying to park. Have a good weekend.
-
Morning all, Day of rest here, other than maybe a bit of tinkering in workshop. Rain due in a bit.
-
Morning all, Get my state pension today, 66. Celebrating by going out to work. Young lad dismantling large manky pine close to a shed. I’m on the ground. Yesterday for only the second time ever we experienced carb icing up due to fog and below zero. Yet today’s max is forecast at 14 degrees. Totally weird.
-
Morning all, Heavy frost here. Glad I opted for the pre heater when I bought the Iveco 11 years ago. Watch those slippery surfaces.
-
Morning all, Couldn't access the thread via the app this morning, on laptop now. Frosty windscreens then fine day. Dismantling a split conifer due to co-dominant stem at ground level. Got to try not to trash the shrub underneath on neighbour's side. Be good all.
-
Morning all, Dry here and no frost. Local work reducing a spindly holly hedge plus odds and ends. Have a good week.
-
Morning all, Raining plenty here. Trip over to my sister and blow out the DPF with a good run. Happy Sunday
-
Morning all, No need for thermal base layer today. Doing a quote then maybe a little spannering. Have a good weekend.
-
Morning all, My usual Friday off. Bit of office work then maybe go for a walk with wife. Dog can’t go far so she will stay home while we are mindful of ice - hips get weaker with age. Safer up a tree.
-
I also have the 22t venom. I rate it highly in that it sips petrol, can be used horizontally or upright, and i have never yet found anything it could not get through. Mine has the earlier type of suspension units, and although I have towed it on the road in the past it is a bit lop sided for road use now. I note the newer ones have different suspension.
-
Morning all, Frost and blue sky here. Couple of small conifers to fell this morning. Difficult access so taking the Jo-Beau. Then dentist this afternoon. The weekend gets nearer.
-
Morning all, No frost here, sunshine hopefully. Small maple repeat pollard then home.
-
Neither of the people either side of it wanted their fences damaging, so it would have had to be felled higher than I can reach from a ditch. Didn't fancy being tied in with spikes and a strop, as it had significant die back. Also we left the trunk standing at the level of the main crotch for nature to nibble away at.
-
Morning all, Conifer felling today. Will try to get as much done as possible before the rain moves in.
-
Morning all, Frost here. Grinding lots of small holly stumps today. Stay warm.
-
What have you got?
