Just in case you wanted to see- here is Oma's old spice cupboard, now filled with bottles that actually seal. And no, those are not all my spices. I'm just fond of this cupboard and like to keep it in use. I really should take everything out of it again and give it a polish.
So that flowering plum? Thursday night I went a bit mad and cut off all I could with secateurs. This morning I used the bow saw to take off most of the branches. Then I dug around the roots, cut through them all (eventually) and now it's out! Whew that was hard work. The little jab saw that we bought for cutting the plasterboard for the servery hole came in very handy for sawing through the roots. Thank goodness the wood was quite soft.I need to get back out there, fill in the hole, tidy up and possibly make a few more cuts so the wood is transportable for weaver. Then in a week or so I can dig a different hole and go buy a new tree!
While recouping from the above exertions, I did a spotlight run. This time I failed to get anything on my list, and came home with a totally unrelated item :-)
