Wouldn't wanna stand on the brakes, eh?

Like me - had a sit-on-top kayak in the Hilux Surf and stomped on the brakes - voila - new windscreen!

Not quite. The car before me went quick around the corner and I went even faster. Too bad he stopped right after the corner. Too late to stop.

Just starting off my day, getting ready to go to work. It's already hot and humid out there. It looks like it's going to be another drought ridden summer. Not good for lake levels. But we can sure bask in the sunshine!

Hi Ekka et al from cold Canberra. Have been doing some research on pollarding as I saw some magnificent examples in New york and London during a recent visit so thought I might have a go in the back yard. I have a mature Golden Elm that needs pruning to avoid the power lines and thought pollarding might be an option. however it appears that the project might have been better started a decade ago as it is 30-40 cm in diameter on the main trunk although many of the branches are much smaller. May still give it a go next month as it has to be pruned anyway.

Have some smaller deciduous trees that I might start on also as pollarding definately has appeal.

Off to see Keating the Musical tonight so will sign off for now. rgs TOM

Maybe post up some pics and we can help? Where to cut etc, there are some spots better than others.

Tucson is as dry and hot as only the desert can be. Glad I live in the mountains and visit Tucson when I must. 6,000 foot elevation makes a big difference in temperature.

Agree time flys. My brand new granddaughter smiled at me today for the first time so I am in heaven.

Learning some things about trees I want to share with her when she's a little older.
Cheers!

Good news about the rain then, after all that dry period.

I still can't stop smoking (20 a dia) and my drinking is to the bare maximum.

How many children you got and how old Eric? I know how ya feel about watching them go off. Make the most of every day whilst they are young cos it doesn't last long.
Twas really a good feeling seeing my youngest tottle off to school for the first time, it's like it takes you away from all the shit in the world. I use to really worry about them in the UK but here is totally different. I watched them play outside school tonight with their Portuguese friends and it made me feel so good about it all.

Work is a pig to find and I've lost a few jobs already from being over priced. I will have to wind my neck in and start to quote Portuguese prices, about €250 a week self employed.

The wife and me are gonna give it 12 more months and if it doesn't pick up we will be shooting back to the UK to start again.

Well, you asked!

Take good care of yourselves,

Mitch.

Sorry to hear about the news Lopa, take care!

Sorry for the strange places my post replys end up, gentlemen. I'll re-read the distructions on how to navigate this site.

Clementine, I lived on a Portuguese Island 4 years as a kid and am looking forward to my next visit to the mainland. I was fluent in Portuguese when I left. Your kids will pick it up very fast.

Eat lots of Lingucia for me because I can't find the good stuff here in the USA.
Good luck to you and your family in Portugal!

Time flies Raven, so how's things down your way? Don't be shy now.

I posted my reply in the twilight zone, Ekka, because I sure don't see it here.
I must re-read navigating directions again.

Anyway, Tucson is hot and dry. Would love to have a solid month or two of rain. It would green things up and settle the allergen pollins down!

I remember the first day of my youngest childs first grade class. He has recently given me a most precious first granddaughter. She smiled at me for the first time today and my heart felt it would break.
Hold those little ones moments to you because time does indeed have wings and before you know it you will be kissing your baby's baby and wonder where the years got to!!

Rustree,
Don't feel like the Lone Ranger, Tonto here sends more replies to the Twilight Zone than in the place a reply should go.

I find the people here so friendly and patient that we'll get the hang of posting soon.
