Men at work

Having the week off work means I have a list of things to sort out. Towards the top of that list was arranging for somebody to come out and cut back the two big trees in the back garden - they've got a bit unruly over the last couple of years. I arranged for a few quotes but then got a call from one of the companies saying they'd had a cancellation and they could come earlier. He then offered to do it there and then for (I think) a good price...I may have been suckered. Still, it was less than I expected and they did it all in less than an hour including chipping all the branches and taking it away, saving me cutting them down for the recycling for the next however many weeks.
At least it's a job I can tick off the list.

After that excitement and the interest from Owen about what the men were doing, we went over to the Quarry to run about a for a bit (well, we weren't waiting for any quotes any more) dressed as Darth Vader, and he was really pleased with himself that he got going on the swing all by himself.

A surprisingly productive day in the end.
