i love juice

There is definitely something special about working with wood, i am an engineer by trade and that has really seen me use metals rather than wood but since taking on a rather different career path i get to play with all kinds of materials but mostly wood. Out of all the different kinds it has to be the kings of woods that i love to handle, Oak gives such a wonderful aroma when working with it, it makes you not want to stop. Its grain, strength and finish is renowned and has a wide range of uses. For me though it has to be the smell i cant help but sniff the wood during cutting it reminds me of my favourite wine and even when its finished and in place it continues to remind you of its presence as it changes and grows in character.

finally some sign of summer. Its 9:00 pm and im sat outside on the wall of my garden, i have just finished looking over some papers from work and started to work my way through the rest of my work load.
I usually hate to do this kind of work although its a major part of my job, but im more of a practical person and love that side of my job more. However tonight iv actually enjoyed this horrible task as iv been able to enjoy the summer evening. I cut the grass the other day and the garden still smells of fresh grass and the birds fighting over the bugs, its great.
Being in the middle of a city and yet it feels like im sat back in my home town in the sticks i just hope this weather holds for a little longer and we can take a trip out at the weekend.
Plan for a day trip Thud.
