Not this one then?

I'd forgotten about the Minions!

Anyways, everything done for the day. Now for some me time. Which involves cutting out 30 circles of cardboard.

Morning .
I'm all excited !
I've just put our rubbish bin out !
I think it must be the highlight of my day !

The general waste bin has been out here since Monday. No collection yet.

£25 for me this month.

Metoo 👍🏼

I have had a notification email that we have also won but it won't let us check how much .... Such a tease

Struck out for the third month in a row. I know they cut the prize fund down in December but I'm still disappointed.

Cold here, occasionally sunny but also snowing intermittently.

Split a couple of cases of logs this morning. Took proper seasoned wood from the stack along the fence - the stuff I hauled in the other day is not good quality and it's godawful damp. Which is not what you want when it's so damn cold.

Almost lunchtime. A bowl of hot soup would go down well right now.

I've got a pile of wet wood from the farm on a wheel barrow in the garage. What I could do with is somewhere protected from the rain but exposed to wind.

I have a wire fence that faces the prevailing wind, but that's sheltered from the worst of the rain by a conifer hedge. It's a brilliant place to season firewood.

The stuff I brought in the other day has gone mouldy.

My oven fan unit, which was ordered 'next day' delivery on Monday, hasn't arrived. Four cut-off phone calls to their despatch department , two social media messages, and a prospective sales call later I got through by pretending I wanted to put a new order in.

Apparently it was despatched today and they don't send notification of tracking numbers

Is this a code?

It's like putting cheese on a piece of bread under the grill. what you call cooking.

Put it on a pallet and cover with a tarp. Don't have the tarp all the way down the sides though. I have a tarp over a wooden frame which is held down by milk bottles full of water, which makes it easy to take on and off. It can become obsessional though rushing out when it rains to cover and then uncovering when it stops ad infinitum. Built a proper slate roofed store recently, I must get round to building a couple more.

An afternoon of log shifting awaits.

Well that went well, an hour and a half after posting that, I woke up!

 

[Gravity Aided]

I went to the grocery store. There was Marmite, and it was waaaaaaaaaaay too close to my sauerkraut from Germany.

I have no idea as it's too cold to go outside and find out The old windows are PVCu as are the new ones, if that helps.

hmmm PVC window sills would be smart!
