I tried that, my soup blew away. We've had some proper weather up here, base level F9 and gusting F11.
Are you still on Uist?
After the Force 11 he's probably in Shetland. :D
Damn you, I was going to make joke like that. I am still on Uist, but a different Uist.

Realising a joke is good and erm, recycling it, is a compliment. :D

Think of one as a powered broom. I have no leaves to clear up but the blower does a great job of cleaning dust off the deck, cleaning the back of the van, blowing crap out of the shed, clearing grass clipping, the list is endless. An extremely versatile tool that no home should be without.

MiniTaff is learning sports massage in college and the more he practices the better he gets, right?

Can't wait until he's learnt another body part, but until then my calves are in top condition 🥳🥳

I have a Stihl battery one (Stihl AK betteries), I also have other Stihl battery tools so the leaf blower fits nicely into the collection.

I wonder if I can get one that works with my Hitachi 18v battery collection? <heads off to Google>...

If they do a 36v one running 2x18v batteries, that's the one I'd go for, for some reason battery leaf blowers are very heavy on battery usage.

This is the only 18v one I can see, and it's for a single battery:

But I do have 2 x 4ah and 2 x 2.5ah batteries, so for the use I'll put it to it should be OK.

Let me know when those guest bedrooms are ready and I'll bring the Gremlin family over for a week.

Does seem to be taking an awfully long time since we last popped in and said we'd come over when they're ready... :think:

Currently the missus is driving from Weymouth to Marlow.
I know she'll be listening to her Spotify collection. But we share the same account and I keep selecting shit songs that will also play in her car :obscene-birdiedoublered:

A friend's Spotify was hacked, so he played a soundtrack of a bloke screaming. Continually.

Later found that his GF had given her father the login details ... :D
