Morning all. Just got a coffee in bed so no idea what it's like out yet, sun coming through the curtains though...
-
You should try out with a foreign one Stubby, helpfully they revert to their native language as soon as you find it so you know instantly when you've stumbled upon the right bit!
-
That's an awful lot of beverargino down the drain in Portugal.
-
Took your advice Les, it was lovely!
-
We've a warning in place for heavy rain/thunder, supposed to get to us from 6pm.

What you're saying makes sense eggs. Never really thought about it on a countrywide scale before, it seemed viable in the rural location I'm used to because nowhere in the region is big enough to have more than one post office. Think it was probably my dad that told me.
-
Thanks Les, sounds like very sound advice!
-
Yes, that's what I've always thought too

Morning all. The big question in my world this morning is to go out for a fried breakfast or not. Have to say it feels like the right thing to do!
-
Sahara sand in the atmosphere is helping with the sunsets just now apparently, certainly had a dusty layer on cars the last few mornings.
-
Similar here, a couple bits of board offcuts from the mill to protect the trailer. Saw someone once that had a piece of rubber stable mat screwed in to cradle the wheel.

Morning all, Friday feeling!

No it's a scary bit of kit. More a forestry winch really, not ideal for what we're using it for but we don't need it out very often. It's so quick and aggressive it's difficult to get tension on before a pull but once you start pulling in anger it's over pretty quickly.

Bit more of the same from the site up Yarrow Valley, there all week felling Ash and really enjoying it. MOV_0462.mp4 Was really humid with the heat today so a team dip of the skinny variety in St Mary's Loch on way back to base was called for!
-
Nothing dramatic but really good to be away from hedges and pruning! Winch assisted Ash felling out of a small domestic woodland up Yarrow Valley. All arisings taken off site at the end of the day's work in one grain trailer of chip and a decent load on timber trailer. MOV_0450.mp4

Bit late in but work was priority, another beautiful morning. Have a good afternoon all.
-
Ever tried blindfold archery? Well you don't know what you're missing...
-
Morning all, lovely morning here. Nice view on the way to site at the bottom end of St. Mary's Loch. Working at the end of the tree line in the left foreground of pic.

I've a little loop of elastic cord through the handle of mine. When I reach for it out the scabbard just slip hand through then I can drop it to use 2 hands whenever and it just hangs from my wrist not causing any trouble, you can bend your wrist to grab it again for use. It's always attached to you when out the scabbard and I can't think of dropping it once.

That could conceivably be next year's Eurovision song winner!
-
You're not squinting hard enough!
-
Wouldn't fancy "Howdy Doody" the bull riding shotgun in my motor I'm afraid. Seemingly the cops in Nebraska just told the guy to take it home!

👍 With a dog or two dreaming at foot!

Very kind of you Ted, think we'd have a lot to talk about.
