Best wreath ever. Top job.

I have my orphaned foster foxhound back for the week while my friend's kids are in the UK. He is going to be devastated when he learns that my daughter's new beanbag chair isn't for him...

Ahh shite. Sorry to hear about this. They should be nailed to the f*cking mast.

I think the whole world did at first, but by golly, we were well and truly shown!

Unsure if curry actually contains several pheasant cloaca, or just some sort of performance art. concerned meme.jpg

Oh come on, it's generally a good rule of thumb to live by, but unless you've got a dunce of an incredibly heavy groundie practising his bellringing at that exact moment, pulling half a twist of your downstream climbing line around your hand for extra grip isn't going to end in catastrophe. I generally do it if foot placement is suboptimal.

That'll look lovely. Fair play.

Could have ragged the final cut a little bit though. Woodlice prefer wavy lines.

Took the wee ones ice skating earlier, sure why not, 'tis the season. I hate being a beginner at something, but they had fun. Pulling on my Christmas jumper later and going for a hot whiskey or two with the mountain rescue folks, followed by a festive kebab and chips in the small hours and Christmas films on the sofa with the children in the large hours.

I wouldn't say "concerned" at this point, alea jacta est, so let's just enjoy the show!

Heretic!

When I was 17, a girl called Holly was the editor (and almost sole writer) for the 6th Form newsletter. In the Christmas edition, she had designed a cryptic crossword puzzle with a seasonal prize for the first correct returned entry. She thought it was really clever, she was very proud of it. Dear reader, no-one claimed that prize. Several of the cryptic clues had no discernable way of deciphering them. She was convinced they (the clues) were all just too clever for us. They weren't... they were just shite. Just a bunch of words smooshed together. This reminds me of that. I wonder if Gareth used to be Holly...

Let it crack, then fill it with epoxy mixed with gold glitter, Japanese kintsugi style. The crowd over on Etsy would bite your hand off for it. We found ourselves hosting Christmas in our new house last year but, gasp! No coasters, and a whole pile of inherited teak and oak furniture! I snipped a dozen thin cookies from an ornamental cherry felled a few weeks previous. Half split, but not until mid-January, and they got promoted to dog toys. The other half, oddly enough, are fine, and are still in use to this day.

Morning all. Of course, thanks to the wobble of the Earth, the mornings will continue to darken for a little while yet (and will vary depending on your own latitude...), and sunsets are already starting to get later in the day... So it'll still be tricky to find the motivation to get out from under the duvet for another few weeks, but at least there'll be a grand stretch in the evenings!

Don't worry, he's advanced. He knows what he's doing.

The soundtrack really adds something on FB version.

Oof, he's a big boy. Are there any outfits near you offering a mobile sawmill service? Fair play to you if you want to have a go with a 36" bar, but I'd say you'd get a better yield a hell of a lot easier if someone with bigger kit took it on! I guess clean it up and get it off the root plate first...

In case anyone is still looking for Christmas presents...

Just tested it. Works great!

That's a good looking lid, perfect for the zombie apocalypse 👌

Great news, a good Christmas present indeed. Remind me, are you having a second knee done at all? They mostly come in pairs. Mostly. An unscheduled and incredibly welcome day off today. Nice gentle jobs for me today like mucking out the henhouse, removing a hung up alder by the kids' treehouse from Storm Darragh, and buying a bottle of whiskey.

There's some pretty looking things in that clip. Some of them, apparently, can be explained by just zooming in on a star with the lens not in focus... Some of them less so.

Topping about a dozen cypress in the morning, dropping a couple of big fat sycamore with a digger in the afternoon. One reduced then pushed, one just climbed to put a strap in as high as needed to pull it over. Tall stumps, metal everywhere. Not a twig or a leaf to clean up, the fella with the digger is doing it himself. Driving away at 1600, the Christmas holidays have now started.

Wow. I might just get a horse instead.
