How's your day?

Or go and buy another drone to knock the first drone out of the tree....

[philmayfield 6,120]

Then there would be two in the tree!

[Brew 5,411]

No problem, just keep going till you succeed..

It’s a 60 foot poplar which is very skinny towards the top. Much too dangerous to climb. The drone is right at the very top. 

Chuck some fairy lights up there and you'll be in fashion with all the folks who are droning on about Christmas! 

[philmayfield 6,120]

Christmas is over. Hurray!

Got Mother-in-law staying over Xmas and 'New Year..''   recently lost Father-in-law,,,,she's doing really well and enjoying Bulwell,, which she thinks is very nice and full of friendly folk,, which it is !

                    Took her for Breakfast in Wetherspoons' this morning,,which she enjoyed and couldn't believe all the 'Free Parking' and cheery ''Ey-ups''

[Beekay 5,138]

Eureka !! That's the answer Phil. A sixty foot poplar, all you need to do is send some kid and tell him he must go right to the top and when the tree bends over you can just reach up and pluck the drone and arrow from the tree. Send up some kid you don't like and when you have your drone, let go of the tree and it will flick the the child over someone else's garden. Problem solved eh ! ?

[philmayfield 6,120]

That’s easy. I dislike all kids. I do like your technique. Just off to find a child!

Can't you train a couple of squirrels? On second thoughts they might get entwined in the fishing line. 

[philmayfield 6,120]

The fishing line has been retrieved. Squirrels we have in abundance. Not easy to catch though and they do have a nasty bite. That might lead to rabies so I'll bide my time until it gets windy again.

Want to borrow a Berreta and big tube of superglue?

Relief..been sat at home last 2 hours worrying,, Wife took my lovely old Cat Lilly'' to the Vets,,,she is 15 and beautiful,,but last year or so has gone all skinny,,thought it was her end.........but she's had an injection and a trim and Vet reckons she's ok for a bit longer.........wife said she bit the Vet and was ''swearing'' all thru her trim,,thats one of the things i love about her,,she's always been Nasty.

                                 You may be wondering why i didn't go with them ?  truth is i'm a Pussy mesen and couldn't put myself thru it,,thought they would put her down,,and just couldn't face it,,

                                    I'm hard really ya know...........lol

 

She did'nt last long,,, passed away this afternoon,,, going to bury her down the Garden in the morning...............broke me bleddy heart..............

[philmayfield 6,120]

Nothing more to relate Margie. It would cost more to retrieve it than it cost. Possibly the hire of a cherry picker but it would be a bit wobbly at that height. We'll just have to wait for the next windy day. Having seen a drone close up in action I would really like one. This one took fantastic video pictures over the Trent Valley. It's my birthday in a couple of weeks so it's a toss up between a drone or an electric bicycle - might have to treat myself.

So sorry for you Ben. We have cats and I know how much you can get attached to them.

[carni 10,094]

Sorry you have lost your much loved cat benj. Before I married our home was always full of kittens  I adored them.  Since I married we have loved and lost three dogs and  each time it broke our hearts. I understand your heartache. So sorry for your sadness.

[LizzieM 9,507]

So sorry Ben.  I’m certainly not a cat lover but having lost several family dogs, rabbits, Guinea pigs and other assorted animals I know how much it hurts.  Thoughts are with you x

Yes, get a drone on your Birthday wish-list Phil.  Our son has one which he bought to take aerial shots of the work they do, it takes very impressive videos.  Just don’t fly it near those trees or too close to the river! 

In fact a drone has been found and not claimed in Mapperley Park today, probably a good idea to put a tracker on them .......
