Top job! & a little logging

Climb Helvellyn every day  sounds like a top job to me.  You would be taking on the job of a "fell top assessor" throughout the winter months to assess the conditions on the mountain - - -

I see a couple more base jumpers have been killed in the French Alps - - - the attraction of doing it is obvious and i don't suppose it could be banned effectively.  I should imagine there are plenty locals who think its not good for tourism - - -

So thats it then the flag's lowered in Camp Bastion Afghanistan and they are even dismantling the memorial to the 453 soldiers who have been killed in the conflict.  Already we have had politicians telling us that in some way the sacrifice has been justified because Afghanistan is "a safer place" - - -  you would like to think so  - - - Mmmmmm

Afghanistan at least makes the front page of the Express 

but its a cup of cocoa at bedtime which is the answer to beat memory loss  that takes centre stage - - - 

The weather was kind yesterday so i took myself off for a little logging 

I'm gradually clearing the remaining small stuff out of the way. the small group at the left of this pic had a huge wild rose growing up inside it 

11 small boughs had to be cut before it would fall over and even then it took me a good half hour to get the rose untangled, thankfully i dint think there are any more on the remaining stretch 

I'm having another stint in the kitchen garden polytunnel today so the rather heavy looking clouds out of shot in the pic below won't interfere

Another pretty good temp to start with today but the wind is set to increase through the day and the forecasters are predicting heavy rain late p.m. tomorrow 

Enjoy the day
