Fair enough. We were trained in chainsaw use in my carpentry course. I was very relieved when I could switch the wretched thing off and give it back to my tutor.

Since then I''ve always used hand tools.They're slower until you calculate the amount of time needed for maintenance and to earn the money to pay for them, and much, much less likely to involve casually removing a limb.

I hadn't noticed that we had moved on from singing !

I thought your training sounded a bit drastic !

As they say, accidents involving chainsaws are seldom trivial..
I need to butcher my hedges.
Its too much for an electric hedge trimmer, and i really cant be bothered to hand saw 20 yds of thick hedge

I like having an old garden but it does create work.

Think how much less deforestation would have happened if chainsaws had never been invented..

If every tree felled had to be done by hand..

This is of course massively hypocritical of me, as nearly all the homes I've ever lived in, including this one, have been heated with the product of a chainsaw...

They certainly need treating with respect, and the noise does my head in too

Ok that's me gwumpy bumpying off, for real now

After 2:30 sounds like Husqvarna Rancher, the sound of Amazonia and Australia.

I'm on a 47 now. I really hope this torn muscle heals soon because buses are driving me mad. And home.

Watery dawn sky, and the forecast, threatened lots of rain.


Turned out nice in the end though, only a few showers, for the last full-on harvest day of 2019.

Chicken says hiiii

The 177 goes nowhere near Blackfen but my daughter and her brood live very close to there - to the east of Danson Park. The A2 goes pretty close though.

Just reminded me of the house number. It's amazing how, with my memory, I still remember that address! When I was about 5 we moved, crossed the A2 to live in Welling.

My Aunt used to live in Welling. (This is the mundane news thread after all. )

Practicing was a foreign concept to many of our choir members.

When your headmaster was the vicar you didn't get a choice!

I know the feeling! My foot is nearly back to normal, I'm gradually ramping up my walking, but not today!

I'm also trying to build strength back up by walking more and doing very steady turbo exercise. And a lot more bus catching when it comes to last minute shopping.

There's a lot of standing water around here. And of course, I have to wade somewhat knee deeper than everyone else. Splish, splosh...

Anyway, I did go yellow stickering and picked up some nice bits and pieces. Most of it is for a friend who is up to her eyeballs covering holiday & sickness at the vet where she works, and she asked me to do her Christmas shopping. I have a lovely shoulder of lamb for her, plus a nice selection of cheeses and vegetables.

I am about to pop a selection of carols on and decorate the Christmas tree.

I had no Aunts, nor Uncles neither.

How mundane is that?

It’s quite mundane, but I think I win.
