WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

@Matty123 No kidding! I majored in Forestry and Forest Products. Never used the forestry aspect in subsequent employment, but the BSc has come in handy. Where'd you study? I went to the University of Wales, Bangor.

That’s awesome! I went to UMASS Amherst. Class of 2000. I worked commercial landscaping for my entire life until recently. Funny thing is when you were talking about Gingko bonsai it reminded me of a class trip we took
To the Arnold Arboretum outside of Boston. I saw a 300 year old Gingko Bonsai that day. 300 f’in years old!

Cool! I just recently found out one of my buddies/coworkers went to UMASS back when the Pixies were starting out and saw them play in somebody's house… plus he was apparently on 'saying hi' terms with Frank Black. I was suitably surprised and impressed.

I did a few months of landscaping not long after moving stateside. That's some grueling work, right there! Hope your new job's easier on the back. And knees. And everything.

A 300-year-old ginkgo bonsai would be cool to see! No idea how old my one currently is.

They look amazing Barclay. Think I'll be putting that on things to do next year.

^ Was an eye opener for me with 80 separate "floats". It rained the whole time we were there and the wind was strong. A great event for little kids and big kids like me & Jules.
The word "float" comes from the original Lord Mayor's Procession which was down the River Thames on barges back in the day.

Ran another 5K today. This one is organized by the Restaraunt I work for. It’s called the “Hot Oil 5K”
Hot oil is our signature topping that originated in our restaurant.

I'm getting good news- to the surprise of everyone, it appears that I did not break my finger.

That shirt is looking absolutely beautiful and the fit is great. If you ever get the chance take some shots of it in daylight and get it on the product thread.

Will try. The boy and I are sick again so don’t know if it’ll happen today. But yes, got this grail from summ3rhays and it fits great [emoji106]
