I decided to have another leaf blower trial which is similar to the sheepdog trials but without the gates, sheep and of course dogs.
I find that leaves are like sheep, they have a mind of their own, so control of the nozzles is really important.
However this is not a skill I have, I wander around chasing the leaves, trying to direct them in one direction.
This would make an ideal winter sport, and another the Brits would be crap at.
I have watched others in the neighbourhood, with their back mounted power packs direct their leaves in well organised drifts, no stragglers.
I attack with full power sending debris in all directions trying to catch anything.
Anyone passing, would witness this exhibition and think, “Yep, he’s British”
I go until the batteries are exhausted, then I proceed to hit the remaining leaves with the blower itself.
We got the grey primer on the under structure of the dining table, and the two matching side tables.
I did more sanding on the top of another dining table we acquired some time ago.
I’m not sure what timber it is made from, possibly bamboo, it is difficult to get back to clean wood.
There is an expected wave of cold weather coming our way, I think it’s time to mothball the bikes until spring, really sad.
Another Lifetime to go
