    I know this has probably been playing on people's minds.

    I got a thorough sweeping, and worked out how to light a fire. Nice!

    To the horror of friends and family, I also bought an axe to make (?) kindling. Limbs all intact, and only one small dent in the side of the car where some wood pinged into it. Ahem.
    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

        Or send the local boy scouts out to collect it.

            Pah. Not me. I have lots of wood about the place. Got it into my head I wanted to chop it up.

            Harder work than it looks, apparently.

              Chopped up three tons of wood last year for a friend, yes very hard work and the kindling was the easy part.

                Three?

                Wimp.

                I did twelve tons today.
