That's the tree surgeoning done and the cat (Lexi) taken to the vet for a check up.

No fear, CCers, I kept my feet well on the ground. I was clearing up a pine tree and part of a blackthorn hedge that had come down in that storm a few weeks back. Still have a bit left to do, but that can wait till next week. Everything is now safe, everything is trimmed, small wood ready for green bin collection (that is, the bits the sheep won't snack on) and the decent timber has been cut into manageable sections and is ready to be turned into logs.

Lexi's got the all-clear from the vet. I need to medicate her ears for another three days, and then just keep an eye on things.

I think I deserve a nice after all that.

Made the mistake of planning rides in Japan. Even the peninsula Beautiful Wife's family lives on has so many routes to so many beautiful and exotic places. I could do 80k-100k day rides for two weeks & still there would be loads I'd missed.

I’ve only seen Japan in documentaries and as locations in films, and while I have no desire to visit the cities I would love to see the countryside. It looks absolutely beautiful there. New Zealand is another place that appeals for the same reason.

Sorry, have I got this right. You called in a tree surgeon to deal with your cat, and then went to the vet afterwards to see that he'd done it right. You are a slightly unusual person, Reynard.

I don't know what exactly you put in your but it's gotten me rather worried...

She mis-read the advert, missing the "r" out of tree. Advert stood out a little.

@MikeG - I have a question for people who know about wood working.

If I have an item like this:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nice-Ant...=item591ca2a46f:g:51MAAOSwA29b3axo:rk:30:pf:0

and the doors do not close properly. Is there a fair chance that an expert could repair it/or restore it so that the doors close reasonably well. I do not have enough knowledge to do it, but I know a man who does.

look at what your moving Not your hands..

At the moment, I'm working on the control system, not target acquisition. You can buy all sorts of motion control bits and bobs on eBay for absolute peanuts. The problem is that you have to wait a few weeks to get your sweaty palms on them, especially as Chinese New Year is slowing stuff down.

You were on the frontier!

No, but I guess Carl Sandburg knew a few old sodbusters. This area was frontier in Lincoln's time, so that would be my Great, Great ,Grandfathers' day. Though we were here before them. About the time of Northwest Ordinance, and British handover.

They have giant hornets over there.

We have giant hornets here, too,
though, come to think of it.
I may have to sneak in the U.K.,
whilst the border is still porous.
