What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.

Wife says "BE CAREFUL"

So being dressed up pretty and ready to enjoy shopping, wife says "be careful".

I'm not sure why, but if she had said that yesterday, when I had a piece of timber in my left hand and a battery powered reciprocating saw in the other, I probably wouldn't have painful blade teeth marks in my left thumb now. I'm fairly tough, but next time I think I'll use a vice even, if it does take 5 minutes to set up.

Had fun today, trimming my Oak tree. Okay the fun part was abseiling down it after cutting branches, the not so fun part was cleaning up the pile of branches and putting them through the mulcher, that was just hard work that took 2 bottles of beer to keep hydrated on this hot day.



I managed to get a blister on my heel, I would like to think it's from all the walking I've done in my heels, but in fact it was caused by my boat shoes. They got wet when I jumped off the tender about knee deep before the beach, then walked up an volcanic cone in the wet shoes. Note to self when next on the yacht, take walking shoes.
