Sometimes you are the pigeon and sometimes you are the statue.

I know which one I was when I got up today.:(

I made some massive holly leaves and berries yesterday from ply board, which I was going to place on the log stack below after I spent the last few hours finishing it today.



I looked out the window this morning and this is the sight that greeted me. Two days work in total ruined.:(



It's a bloody good job that I have a positive outlook on life and the MK2 version is already well under way.

 

Oh my - what happened? It looked so stable and awesome!

I had a neat avatar on Christian Forums where they had a 'mouse-over' message.
It read "some days you're the seagull and others you're the fish"!

 

I initially tried to tell myself that the strong winds that we had last night, must have brought a branch down.

I knew that this wasn't true though. I had rushed ahead with the stacking of the logs inside the outside ring, without taking any care. I need to listen to my inner self more, as I knew that this was a potential mistake all along. The logs inside had settled and pushed out.

I can't lie and say that it doesn't matter, but I'm not really that fussed over it. I'm finding the process a good way to chill and relax, so I guess that I now have an extra couple of days to free my mind.

 

Ah but Eddie, it is a sign!!

Continue adorning your christmas pud with berries and holly....what you have now is a pud in use !! Can you make a great big serving spoon to go with it all?

Steve...

 

Sorry to see that Eddie. :( I didn't expect you to take me up on the Christmas pudding idea!

 

And why not?



The berries aren't quite as bright as they appear above.

Eddie, you have too much time on your hands.

 

You forgot to put the sixpence in, thats why it exploded.

 

Should have done the Holly in GLOSS :-)

Jack McH (and this little piggy made a house of wood)

 

Great Holly Eddie, look forward to seeing the finished article.

 

I only had an old tin of Land Rover green.:( :D

The damn stuff won't dry though.
