Well, not all the time, but he got larger when he was really angry with the brambles.

Separately, is it common for the British to prune with the pinky out?

All jest aside, this picture brings me much joy today.

Yes, yes it is. It’s called an AdvancedCut 18 (Bosch) and it runs off a rechargeable battery pack (just visible at the bottom of the shot). It is possibly the most enjoyable toy I own, even counting the 3D printer.

I showed my wife a video of it and she said “I think you ought to get one”. I knew I was right to propose.

No, but my hands are large and the gloves make them larger, so I can’t easily curl all my fingers round the handle of the saw because the flared base gets in the way. (Many other people find that it’s too big for comfort.)

The little finger also works as a measuring device that way. Like on drinking cups of tea, the minute it reaches your forehead, that’s when you have to stop

I think every day is plant-murdering day at @RogerBW 's house.

Plus if there was a movie with that tagline and poster, I would be watching it right now.

My wife came up to me yesterday, and said “I need your drill.”
'Which one?" asked I, as I own, er, well, several.
“The one I used to cut down that tree.”
“That’s a sawzall.”
“oh, whatever. Give it to me.”

I had expected this comparison to be a bit more dramatic. It certainly feels better after my most recent trip to the barbers, even if it doesn’t look much shorter :smiley:

I can only assume that your head is growing larger. I mean, the alternative is that your beard has gotten shorter!?

Not actually in “get off my lawn” mode, more squinting into the sun, but…

Kids are away so let’s go get a chippy tea on sit on the ‘sea’ wall.

(Sea wall now mainly holds back silt and spring tides)

I went and picked up my new glasses today! It’s scary how much difference they make especially at a distance -.- Anyway, I took a selfie.

And the solution to guessing which games are in the picture

As an aside this will have to lead to a post in Last Bought because I took a long overdue trip to FLGS… oopsie.

Is that the deluxe edition of War of Whispers? I ask because I have the standard version and the box is white.

Did you manage to fit all of inis into the seasons box?

Nice glasses also.

Yes it is and unplayed except for a two handfeed learning game. shame on me.

@GeeBizzle yes it all fits in the small box. I keep the original box for reasons.

I’m not much better. It’s been played once so far, but it was a great game!
