    It’s ok Dove. He uses the chain saw; I pick it up and load it onto the trailer. 😏

    Good morning ladies. 
    Nice here now, but torrential rain forecast before too long

    It’s all right @Hostafan1... the rain’ll be up here by mid afternoon ... not going to stop until Sunday 🙄 
    Put your feet up now @Pat E 🛋

    I’ve just finished my first cuppa Dove. Now playing Happy Color on my iPad.🙄🙄

    just in case you’re wondering, that trailer is an old unregistered one that we use as a portable wood heap.  We just park it at the back of the house all winter and then move it elsewhere in the warmer months.

    Good idea @Pat E ... that way you unload it much more slowly 🤣 👍

    Good morning.  Watery looking sunrise this morning and we have thin, streaky, grey clouds and the forecast says tomorrow's downpours have gone away.   Not impressed.  I Hope you chaps are all OK and your gardens too after your stormy bits.  Hope you don't get wet at the coalface today @Hostafan1.

    Kerfuffle outside the catflap while I was getting Cosmos his breakfast and when I went to investigate there was a fresh, warm mole corpse.   Clever Minstrel.   More sorting and cleaning upstairs for me before I get spruced up to go and meet patchwork friends for a suitably distanced drink and chat on a high terrace overlooking a boating lake and the Atlantic at Les Sables.

    I hope your mum improves soon @Yviestevie.  Another worry you really don't need at the mo.    Big hugs for you and anyone else with poorly relatives they can't visit.

    Good haul of wood @Pat E.   I wouldn't be happy wielding a chain saw now so I'm quite pleased ours died cos now he's retired OH has been purloining all my toys except the sewing machines.

    How's the wall @chicky?  Those stones do look very similar to what I've been quarrying and some have lovely ammonite fossils.

    Morning all, been deer watching this morning. The doe and the younger buck have been wandering round munching windfalls and crocosmia flowers. He still fancies his chances but she isn't keen. I think her head was turned by the big buck a couple of weeks ago.

    Morning all/afties @Pat E. Nice stack of wood - just what you'll be needing  :)
    I missed your post re your mum @Yviestevie . Not what you need as @Obelixx says.

    Well - we've all had our heads turned by a big buck at some point @steephill :D
    Still raining here, and to be on all day. I doubt it'll get much above 13 or so. Waterproofs will be required again.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
