[Straight Shooter]

Been singing "swing low " All day Pete.....Sil....cracked about 3 pm and went indoors ...muttering something about how bad the ref was.....i did offer to hug him...but this appeared to agitate him even further ...poor little lamb ! .

Been landscaping and trenching all day ....tracked straight through the covered patio ...without any issues....its funny ....like riding a bike , you never forget the controls very happy with the excavator .....filled those water jacks........ nearly froze last night,but cleared after letting the outside tap run for ten mins .

Going to cut in a gate on the drive fence this week , by doing so this will create a short cut that will make life easy to collect the fallen trees off the trail i was telling you of .....there seems to be even more people collecting firewood so best i get moving while there's plenty to be had, there are two newbies or wood bandits...one of which i helped ....logged up a few barrow fulls ....he told me he was banking on a job due in the coming weeks....his eldest son was in tow no more than twelve ...his mission was kindling , using one of those council recycling bags ....he was dragging rather than carrying " follow me son i said " i have the very thing for you in my shed (shopping bag carrier frame and wheels ) five mins later he was on his way to rejoin dad his mobility considerably improved....i love it when a plan comes together....he must have thanked me a dozen times ...along with his dad who hailed me from the trail....my payback .....gave me a much needed lift !
