    Charlie is looking great, calmed down a lot and good to see him off the lead when out.. could do with a log splitter... very handy.. as for the jokes dont give up your day job mate..

      Thanks Grahame. Charlie is settling down a bit but there's a long way to go yet. As for the log splitter, something else that you didn't know that you needed. 😀

    I laughed at goldfish -- stupid joke 🤣. The opening with the abolishing nose hairs made my eyes water amazed you didn't shed a tear. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you too. Charlie did good with the cow probably wouldn't have gone nearly as well without the fence between them. LOL!

      Thanks Dolores. That cow seems to wait for Charlie. I take him out at roughly the same time every day and the cow is always there. 😀
      Merry Christmas to you and look after yourself. 🙏🏼

      Thanks Vanessa. You're the only one to comment on the trouser whip off à la Full Monty. I'm glad it wasn't completely wasted. 😀

      Thanks Linda. He'll keep growing until he's about 18 months then he'll start filling out apparently. I need to get a bigger sofa. 😀

    Charlie has grown into a wonderful companion. The info about chainsaw pants and the moisture content was interesting. I also liked your wood splitter which looked easier to use than some I’ve seen. Merry Christmas to you and Jane.

    • @FrenchCountrysideLife
      @FrenchCountrysideLife  22 дня назад

      Thanks Diana. Charlie is still quite naughty with stealing stuff and jumping up at people but we're working on it.
      The log splitter is very basic but it does what it says on the tin. 👍🏼

    Good video. I learned something new; I did not know there was a moisture meter for wood. Antony & Cleopatra.. goldfish...🤣

    • @FrenchCountrysideLife
      @FrenchCountrysideLife  21 день назад

      Thanks Glen. The moisture meter also has a setting for masonry so it can be used to check and quantify damp.
      The riddle was courtesy of Derren Brown. 😀

    It was lovely to see you back. Is that the next challenge for Rob, following on from the pepper eating challenge.
    Chain saws are scary. I have loads of trees to take down when our sale for our Charente house goes through. I'll definitely be investing in a pair of those trousers

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.

    A great video as always, Moisture meter was a Kenneth Williams for sure.
    I could definitely see day light when you showed us Charlie’s ear hole lol
    Very informative. Back to the old Colin
    Nice hook at the start to keep us watching to the end lol
    And thank you for the shoutout too
