Thank you kindly, a DHB deep winter soft shell jacket found it's way in there as well :pinno said:@homers_double: https://www.wiggle.co.uk/dhb-merino-long-sleeve-base-layer-1
Order before ... you know the rest. Wiggle are pretty quick and there are postage options.

6 trees pruned. Ran out of light before the final one, next week will do. These are big boys 'n' girls, mature apples. Stiff now from all the up, down, stretch. Deserve a beer or 2: have one of these virtual zoom mates meets later to share our solitary drinks, if I can stay awake long enough.0

Hey, the SanDisk is 100% reliable. Use it download podcasts various, has a bit of music on there, has FM radio. Only time it has ever gone squiffy was when on the turbo instead of clipping it on to my top I stuck it inside waistband of the shorts. Too hot 'n' humid for it. But it recovered fine when it dried out, bless it. As I said robust and cheap, plus it's tiny compared to the phone. But I suppose desk jockeys don't need to worry about muck 'n' filth 😉
As for the 7th tree, it's a Pairear so I guess it would be Bashful 🤔0 -
Oxo, I am def not the build to be a full on tree surgeon, and that looks a bit thin. Have a mate who is one of these tree scramblers, full respec' for the balls it takes. I've taken down some hefty conifers myself but only off a ladder, big triple, with safety lines everywhere 😳0

Will no doubt be clearing your nasal passages.oxoman said:That tree was over 2ft across at the base. The bloody roots wrecked my lawn and my neighbour's plus was wrecking my brick wall and lifted the tree owners shed with its roots. Way faster growing than a conifer, It was only15yrs old. Glad it's gone, smells nice when burnt on my fire pit.

It's odd how people plant forest trees in a domestic setting without thinking through the consequences.

No rain on tonight’s run, though still managed to find some flooded roads.
Town is looking rather wet.....

Evening folks,
No rain here thankfully, day in the office and I managed to wobble in on the green bike. I'm really slow nowadays. Confidence has definitely taken a knock and I pinched the lads goproalike, not sure if I'm happy about that. If I get knocked off again I suppose I will have some evidence. Don't want to review it regularly reliving things that didn't quite happen as that won't help and if the EPO sees anything dodgy she will worry more. But nice and sunny in the park, shame it was all upside down
I can flip it easily enough but it's late and I cba. If I catch any nice views worth sharing I'll be sure to post them though.
I think the water is meant to go under that bridge TLW, the road is over the top. Does look pretty 'kin high though.
WFH tomorrow so a slightly slower start at least

Sometimes cameras are handy because you'll catch a random you've been framed moment, like a lad trying to impress a girl by bunny hopping up a kerb but not quite making it.2 -

If only I'd had one the time I nearly got collected by a big stag chasing off another big stag during the rutting season. I reckon I was within a couple of feet of him as he skidded across the tarmac in front of me. Cloven hooves and wet tarmac do not mix well.thistle_ said:
