Knackered!
« on: 17 November, 2013, 03:40:27 pm »
I've just been chainsawing and chopping down (small) trees.

I'm knackered. Obviously not cut out to be a lumberjack.

Blimey, I'm sure you are.  I've only spent the day "winter tidying" and I'm pretty knackered.  The only thing I had to chop was to turn a fallen bough into a stake.  (An apple sapling seems determined to have a "lie down"  - I've staked it upright)
I'd offer you a swig from this bottle of Old Speckled Hen, but, ahem, I appear to have finished it.
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

Spent a day ripping a large ground cover conifer out, first by secateurs and loppers then with all the green bits gone hand saw and an axe, got to the point where just the trunk was left so dug round it and used a felling axe to chop it out.
      By some strange foresight I had put a couple of bottles of home made pilsner in the fridge before starting, I staggered to the armchair grabbing both bottles as I went, one was swallowed (from a glass) while the other cooled the blisters on my hands, I slept like a baby that night
The problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so sure of themselves, and wiser men so full of doubt.
