As you can see from the photo, the tree removal guy was around today. He arrived around 11:30am and was done by 11:50! Two trees removed, they were chipped and the stumps were grubbed all in around 20 minutes. $250 in 20 minutes just goes to show what can be done if you have the right equipment.
The neighbour two doors up also got the tree guy to remove two trees as well but the stumps were left behind. Another $250 cash in his pocket. Again two large wattles were chopped down, chipped and most of the mess was cleaned up. He was on his way again by 12:30pm.
It took a text message this morning to remind him of what was to be done. A text message back that he was in the area and could do it around lunch time if that suited. Suit it did!
The weather has remained really nice, not too hot, around 27 most days and high teens overnight. The pool was still 'swimmable' at over 22° this morning.
This week I have totaled around 90k's on the bike and that was over 5 mornings. I gave it a miss this morning and put a brew on instead as well as washing all the bottles. I will bottle in a week's time.
There still remains some minor debris from the tree removal so I will run the mower over it quickly just to tidy everything up later this afternoon. Most likely a quick swim and a refreshing ale will follow!
Trish is away at Quilters this morning and is due home shortly.
We grabbed a $7-50 'senior's' roast lamb lunch yesterday at a local pub, a big enough meal to pretty well fill me up. I enjoyed a couple of "Pale Ale" beers as well while Trish had an apple cider. The Pale Ale is a bit dearer but when you are only paying that money for a reasonable roast lamb lunch, it isn't too much of an extravagance.
Computer Club tomorrow, footy most of the weekend and plenty of drinks to keep me going! They are saying it will be a little cooler next week but then so it should almost into the last month of autumn!
Sounds good!
