Following the storm cell that came through on Sunday 26th Oct, the power to Chelmer has now been restored.
Thanks to all the people at Energex, the SES, first responders, arborists and locals who helped with cleanup and looking out for our neighbours and locals communities.
5 months post surgery and the rehabilitation program is going well and is seemingly on track. With the help of my son, we even managed to use some of my work tools of the trade to clear fallen branches from my street.
Hopefully everyone has power again and is safe and well.

Surgery completed Monday this week.

Operation was 3.5hrs long, both infraspinatus and supraspinatus tendons repaired and reattached. Large bone fragment reattached to head of the humerus and various bony and calcified bits removed and cleaned up.

Surgical reviews at 6 and 12 weeks, in a rigid sling until then with no driving or anything even vaguely strenuous.

Followed by between 9-12 months rehab.

Lucky I have my family and the doggies to try and keep me sane!

Shoulder surgery now booked in for next week. Prognosis is good for a full recovery however the timelines are very long!...

Shoulder surgery now booked in for next week. Prognosis is good for a full recovery however the timelines are very long!
3 months in a sling immobilised followed by 6-9 months of rehabilitation.
I’m not sure what I’m going to do to keep myself sane over this period and I will also have to find someone to do my gardens and hedges too. Role reversal!!

Happy gardening.

With the quiet before the storm, all stay safe during the next few days until Tropical Cyclone Alfred passes.

Hopefully the impact will be minimal to our community but we have had the needed time to prepare for the worst.

Remain vigilant to hidden risks and above all stay safe!

Rain, rain every day!

It’s taking its toll on equipment and personnel (me)!

I have certainly had enough of the wet stuff, time to take a pause and dry out.

To all my clients, have a great Christmas and New Year!

I’ll see you hopefully in 2025 (unless you’re booked in prior).

Did some scmick hedges this afternoon, only had to travel 200m down the road too which was a bonus.

I am now regularly seeing borer attacking hedges. Unfortunately, when I see it I will cut out the affected material which can leave unsightly holes in the hedges.

As a proactive and preemptive measure, I recommend spraying until runoff with ecooil and econeem as well as an application of a systemic insecticide such as Richgro Bug Killa granules, all available from Bunnings or similar.

Happy hedging!
