One nearly killed a cat that we put into the shed for safety as we were
chopping down a tree. That bastard of a tree chose to fall in the
opposite direction, trying to take the cat, shed and fence with it. Once
we let the cat out of the shed, the cat ran off and didn't come back for
three days.
Trees are even shiftier than cats.

Well, I wasn't in charge of the cutty downy bit. The plan was to cut the
tree as high as possible and have a rope with three guys pulling the
other way. Three guys are no match for a falling tree, especially if you
can't maintain a steady pull. You'd be better off tying the rope to
another tree. Or two.
Cutting high didn't help much because the tree wasn't just shifty. It
was also crooked and leaning in the direction nobody wanted. Least of
all the cat. So take a good look at the tree and gauge where it wants to
fall. Is it leaning, is it heavier branched on one side and what about
the roots? If it starts to go it may lift up the roots and soil, even
before you're through the trunk. Also, you may require a license to cut
down anything in your garden.

Mine was pine, not pine, too. You do have a cat, but it was on to you,
so it stays out of the way until you're done cutting trees and start
giving treats.

For this you'll need one tree, one sewer and on thing for cutting down
trees. You may use a saw, axe, chainsaw or C4. Don't forget to subscribe

People smoke, farmers spread manure. Opening windows is inviting
unwanted smells. I'm not kidding. Past two days couldn't open windows
because of the smell of manure. And as soon as it's over 25C people
insist on smoking at night and it wafts right on in, stink up the whole
house. Ironically they can't smell it and can't believe anyone can.

Nope, because I don't like factory or student smells either. I'm
actually not a fan of smells generally. Like perfumes or scented
candles. Even smells added to laundry detergent or shampoo are severely
meh to me.
