Hi Spiders all
Some of you on here, who know a bit (or a lot) about amateur radio
will understand why I'm 'slightly miffed' (understatement of the
year!) today.
Less than 18 months ago we bought a full sized Carolina Windom
antenna. It ran the full length of the garden and worked
brilliantly! Today it is no longer, many thanks to Railway employees
for removing the only hobby that everyone in the house shared...
This morning, the railways decided that the trees at the back of the
house had to go... They didn't just prune them... no they have been
hacked to death! That includes a Very Mature Sycamore which was in MY
garden! The aerial was also in MY garden and went through the
tree... It has been detached (by them) from both ends, snapped, and
wrecked...
Their attitude? Tough!!
Will await further outcomes from their head office... if I don't get
it... Let's just say that myself and a couple of friends are about to
teach dogs how to attack men in orange overalls...
With that out of the way, finished the 'practice piece of beds last
night... that's now released a load of bobbins for rosalibre lace.
I've also found 3 baby sycamores today which will replace the mum in
time... (and the 'bits' they left are going to Agnes husband, and in
time I'll get a small memento of the beautiful tree I used to have.
Right, now off out for tea and then to watch Sex in the City film with
a friend.... maybe Samantha will give me more ideas on what to do with
men!
Chat later
