"Progress" is now full on, bulldozers, diggers and a shredder that looks like it escaped from Star Wars have been at it solidly right outside for the last two days.

Re: My Swiss bitch...

Re: My Swiss bitch...

Our tree is still intact, but the neighbours to our right lost two of their three on Friday. Nothing happening today, presumably due to the very high winds.

Re: My Swiss bitch...
