Man, what a day! I woke up in Brynna, and lemme tell ya, it was a wild ride. I’m a lumberjack, right? So, I’m used to the woods, the trees, the whole shebang. But today? Today was somethin’ else.
First off, I hit the road early, like 5 AM early. The sun was barely up, and I was already chugging my coffee like it was the elixir of life. I drove down the A465, and let me tell ya, that road is a nightmare. Bumpy as hell! I swear, my truck’s gonna fall apart any day now.
So, I get to Brynna, and it’s all hustle and bustle. People everywhere! I parked near the High Street, and man, it was packed. I thought I was in a bloody mosh pit. I’m just tryin’ to get my tools outta the back, and this guy bumps into me. I’m like, “Oi! Watch it, mate!” He just gives me this look like I’m the problem. Like, dude, I’m the lumberjack here, not you!
Anyway, I finally make it to the job site on Gelli Road. It’s a small park, and they wanted some trees taken down. Easy peasy, right? Wrong! Turns out, there’s this massive oak tree. I mean, HUGE. I’m talkin’ like it’s been there since the dawn of time. I’m thinkin’, “Great, just great. This is gonna take forever.”
So, I start workin’, and I’m sweatin’ like a pig. I’m up there with my chainsaw, and it’s roaring like a beast. I’m in the zone, you know? Then, outta nowhere, this kid runs up. He’s like, “Mister, can I help?” I’m like, “Help? You wanna help me take down a tree?” He’s all excited, and I can’t say no. So, I hand him a branch. He’s swinging it around like a sword. I’m laughin’ my ass off.
But then, BAM! The tree starts to fall. I’m yellin’, “Get back!” The kid’s frozen like a deer in headlights. I dive and grab him, and we roll outta the way just in time. The tree crashes down, and I’m like, “Holy crap!” My heart’s racing. I’m thinkin’, “This kid’s gonna give me a heart attack!”
After that, I’m feelin’ all pumped. I saved a kid! I’m a hero! But then, I look around, and there’s a crowd. They’re all clapping and cheering. I’m like, “What the heck? I just did my job!” But it felt good, you know?
So, I finish up the job, and I’m covered in sawdust. I head over to the local pub, The Old Swan, to grab a pint. I walk in, and the bartender, this lovely lady named Sarah, gives me a wink. I’m thinkin’, “Alright, maybe today ain’t so bad after all.” I order a lager, and she slides it over with a smile.
But then, this bloke at the bar starts talkin’ smack about lumberjacks. I’m like, “Excuse me? You got a problem with trees?” He’s all, “You just chop ‘em down, mate!” I’m ready to throw down, but Sarah steps in. She’s like, “Leave him alone, he’s a hero!” I’m blushing, man.
After a few pints, I’m feelin’ good. I start tellin’ stories about the woods, the crazy stuff I’ve seen. Like that time I found a badger stuck in a fence. I swear, it was like a scene from a cartoon. Everyone’s laughin’, and I’m feelin’ like a rockstar.
But then, I check the time. I gotta head home. I’m walkin’ back to my truck, and I see the sunset over the hills. Brynna looks beautiful, all golden and stuff. I take a deep breath, and I’m like, “Man, I love this place.”
So, yeah, that was my day. From almost takin’ out a kid to bein’ a local hero, it was a rollercoaster. Brynna, you crazy little town, you never fail to surprise me!
