    Oh you're making me hungry! I love a pie (and I look like I do, too ;)).

    Have a done a silly thing? I've spent half an hour reaching into my pond pulling detritus out of the bottom (mainly enormous oak leaves from next doors tree). Up to mid-upper arm. As I finished, I noticed the plaster on my arm from where I had bloods taken yesterday - I'd completely forgotten about it. I have no reason to think there's anything 'nasty' in my pond, but should I have been more wary of doing something like that?

    PS, thanks for the info about the rakeyscarifier, Dove - I'm going to look into it further.

    I wouldn't worry LG, maybe a quick clean of the area, but I would expect the puncture to be closed now.
    Dove, tell your OH that I was going to bring Doom Bar, but now I shall drink it all myself.

    Thanks punkdoc - I remove the plaster, clean the area and replace, just in case :)

    He says that had he known that things might have been different @punkdoc

    Tree work progressing. I know it has been a lovely day but I didn't think it was that warm!

    Timber!

  • Glad you’ve ensured that we’re all standing well back and have our hard hats on @steephill 👷🏼‍♀️👷🏼‍♂️

    They look like a proper crew.  When a chappy came to raise the crowns on a row of 25 poplars along the stream in our paddock in Belgium they had no safety gear and their lift was a scoop on the front of a tractor.

    Typical isn't it?  I decide to paint and the temperatures go through the roof.  When I was first painting our bedrooms upstairs in preparation for moving in we hit 40C which is above normal for here, even in summer.  Here I am, supposedly safe in February, but the thermometer on our sun trap front doorstep says 28C and I've been up and down stepladders painting the walls in the ex playroom/new bedroom.  Humph!

    At least OH has been sunning himself as he weeds the new beds so I can plant roses and clems.  Next week with any luck.

    No idea what Doom Bar is but expect it's not for me.   Fish, leek and mushroom pie for dinner here.  Was going to do a savoury crumble but there were no oat flakes in the SM yesterday and I use all ours making those luscious cookies yesterday

    Good luck to you both @Pat E  - I've been through all that with my OH but thankfully his results were negative which I sincerely hope your OH's will be too.  The waiting's the worst bit.
