I'm supposed to be dealing with a big fallen tree but that can wait, it's going to be horrible slimey wood in the best weather, never mind this!
Found some steel so I'm off to the workshop to make a door for my chip box 😆😆👍

It is, I feel like hibernating, It surprises me you have no workshop though. Glad the modified PT hasn't blown away yet!
The 50mph hail was rattling off the windows so loud earlier the cat looked scared and I nearly put my ear defenders on :ROFLMAO:

snap .... bloody awful weather ... the rain is bad enough, but the bloody wind has been virtually constant for weeks ... even Squeaky struggles to go out ... either blows him off his feet or pushes him about badly ... he is NOT fan of high winds, even though he's a 16lb cat ..... as for the poly ... it'd have been gone weeks ago without the base frame holding it down

has actually been dry for a few hours today and the wind has died down a bit ... for how long is anyone's guess though :rolleyes::( ...managed to clear up all the downed branches and brash littering the drive this afters though ... nice to get outside without getting pee-ed on

Similar weather up here too, touch of the white stuff, -4 last night, still -3 now, but looking like another sunny day once it burns the low cloud off. No wind though, so you can feel it and it makes it bearable working outside.
Strange, but apparently the roads were slippery yesterday evening here too she said. Odd, because this weather was well forecasted, but they haven't gritted enough.

I've found a new source for bulk manure locally so went on Sunday and he plopped a ton or so on my trailer with his telehandler. Mixed it with some other ingredients yesterday and set a new heap up for some good compost in the future. The soil here is terrible so I need a lot.
The sun was getting low as I dragged an old sopping wet horse blanket (left by previous owners) over to cover it with.
A few minutes later I found some more ingredients I'd forgotten, so went back to find the cover was now as stiff as a board and could be stood up by the wall 😅

Warm water for the windscreen, a few seconds of that and we're off. Both inside and out defrosted with no risk of it re-freezing either. It's a myth they crack, been doing it since I got my driving licence.

You can also fill a plastic bag with warm water and rub that over the windows.
