I would just like to say

Here's a problemette.
I have a Facebook account, sad I know. I set it up when I wrote my books and don't use it much.
But I would like to access it now and again there are a few groups I access thru it...
Anyway, I always used to get to it through W's account which keeps on copping up via my email and in the past I used to get to mine by clicking on her profile and using the "chaneg profiles" thing.
Well that don't work no more.
So I tried to access it and of course I have forgotten my password, or the one I used to use doesn't work any more AND the mobile number I gave them to use to be able to rest my password no longer works either! An out of date Sim.

So I am stumped and it is a bit annoying being able to see it on the pooter but not access it.

Just wondering if any of you IT geniuses have an idea what I can do. Please!
 
Before all the ECO-Warrior agenda kicked off this street was a tree-lined thoroughfare.
The Council in its wisdom decided that they CBA to clean the streets the falling blossoms every year were a danger to the public, so they chopped all the trees down. You can't make it up. Trees gobble up CO2, greenhouse gas, so were of a positive benefit. World is mad. :(
THAY are cutting road side trees down every where in the UK to make room for the cycle ways that don't get used 😐
 
I have a thickness and planner it makes light work on those sort of jobs but no good on wet wood ☺

I also have a table top thicknesser planner but up good to make the curved timber I need to fit into the roof ridges. ;)
We have some wadkin machines in the yard but I couldnt be bothered to take the timber down. The little hand planner
was superb. :D
 
I dug 2 oles in 2 9" walls today wif a Dewalt hammer drill (mains powered) its been good and has had plenty of use.

There's a time and a place for mains powered tools.
But I do love the convivence of the battery powered tools I have, and these days they are getting so much betterer.

Yer mains power is unbeatable for those sort of jobs, I went though 2 fully charged batteries (5ah) & 2 bars on the other.
Youve just reminded me to switch the battery's over.

Also got to paint my work jacket with fabsil. 🤪 Im off back soon...........
 
Morning All. :D
A damp day today, but not raining. :)
It's the old gal's 95th Birthday today. Me and the missus will be up there later to wish her a happy birthday. :)
[EDIT] Wifey says I am not to go up there because I have a stinking cold and her Mum is frail.
Have a marvelous mega Monday. :D

We find that the council blankets all trees on common land with TPOs no matter how dangerous they get. And telling them a tree is dangerous, which apparently you have to do BEFORE damage to your property occurs, just results in rude letters simply saying "Tough and if the tree does cause damage you had better be able to prove it in court. "
However if a neighbour complains about the height of a tree, if it hasn't got a TPO on it, they moan and moan so you have to make absolutely sure it cannot possibly be seen as part of a hedge.
Result is we have only a couple of trees on our property, but the council has several right next to our fence, one with a branch massively overhanging our land.
I've a funny feeling I have posted about this before.
Anyway, we have a nice row of low, thin copper beeches, more like a hedge really, dividing parts of our garden and they look really lovely now!
Leicester's more like Detroit than Dorset so I think the local authority struggles to keep up with its duties in that respect. Just to continue with the silvicultural theme, here's my copper beech hedge:

That was at the end of May, so it's grown a bit since then. It's the longest copper beech hedge I've ever planted, at around 150 metres. I had originally thought it would be mostly green with the odd purple one to add interest, but then I thought about what a splendid opportunity this was for an excessively purple experience. It's settled in nicely, and the tiny twigs I put in the ground in the winter of 2019-20 are taller than me now. You can tell where I've been gardening because there's a lot of purple foliage about.
