Phew! It's too hot to be attempting to saw through an alder tree stump in this weather
It was infested with alder leaf beetle larva and looked diseased & in terrible condition.
I got a quarter of the way through and said Nah! my back is cream crackered already despite a shedload of painkillers first thing this morning
I need a chainsaw really but not worth forking out for one for one stump.
I've picked a bowlful of ripe plum tomatoes that I'm going to de-skin to make a tomato sauce for some spagbol for tea.
