2022 - What I did today

Today is the day that the silver birch in the front garden is going to have a serious trim.  In the strong winds last week it was wanging around quite dangerously threatening the various cables coming to the house. It's quite tall and near the road and not  sturdy enough to climb in the canopy safely so a cherry picker is needed. I may even convince someone to take me up aloft to get a birds eye view.
I have a feeling this could end in cosmetic disaster.
