Gold FFM windymiller Posted February 19 Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 19 at hadleigh im guessing you were on the cusp of the red warning where as us being probably 30 miles further up missed that strength of wind, open fields and an evergreen coupled with strong winds dont go well !! glad nowt was damaged and make sure the moisture content of aforsaid wood is compliant with eu rules or the wood burner police will be involved lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Best to leave it chopped up outside but under a cover or better still a proper wood pile. Air dried for a year should be OK to use. Wood is best kiln dried with a moisture content <20% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil flash Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Willow trees were topped off, well .. halved in height, a few years back so I'm still working my way through that load, along with some big eucalyptus branches that went way too far into the farmer's field. 'Nowt was damaged' Windy ... my new fence panels don't look too special.. it missed the pile of old panels so some may go back up until I can get new ones ... they may be in short supply for a few months. Today all I could hear were chainsaws going in various directions so I am not only one affected.... and it's UK Govt rules that came in 1/5/2021, not EU, so blame it on Brexit.

mayevora Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Finally arrived at the age I can’t see what I’m reading! 👎 I have worn contact lenses from the moment I get up to the moment I go to bed for 36 years now but reading close up isn’t working. Yesterday picked up some new lenses that will last me for probably 2 years but really struggling to read anything close up and my arms aren’t long enough. My solution to this problem instead of spending a few hundred on bifocal glasses to ware (never liked ware glasses) - Fair play to my Optician. He told me to pop next door to the £ shop. I bought 6 pairs of 99p Glasses at my prescription of +2 and have put 3 pairs in different cars and 3 around the house lol. Problem solved for less than £6 👍😁 1 Quote Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk - that will teach us to keep mouth shut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulCP Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 @mayevorathats exactly what I do 👍. One pair in each car, 3 pairs scattered around the house and 1 in the garage. Optician told me the same, Lyon don’t need expensive bi or varifocals, you will always be forgetting where you put them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that a number of years back and just couldn’t get on with it. I kept thinking a lense had something on it and constantly blinking to clear it - that, and walking into things 😂 1 Quote Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk - that will teach us to keep mouth shut!
